Welcome to stuff you missed in history class a production of I Heart Radio.

Hello and welcome to the podcast I'm Tracy V Wilson and I'm Holly Fry when I was working on our episode on the women's March to Pretoria South Africa not long ago I kept finding references to Emily Hobhouse.

Emily Hobhouse was a pacifist and a humanitarian she's best known for her work exposing terrible conditions at concentration camps that Britain established in South Africa during the Anglo bore war and trying to help the people who are being held in those camps who were predominantly bores.

At the time a lot of people in Britain saw her as a trader because in their mind she was trying to help the enemy although to be clear the vast majority of people she was trying to help here were civilian women and children.

Her work continued into an after world war one and she became a very vocal pacifist and tried to arrange relief efforts for children and continental Europe after world war one.

Although the perceptions of Emily Hobhouse eventually shifted at least somewhat in the UK she's still far better known in South Africa and her work there had some complexities there's a complicated legacy with it today.

So the set of so grew into an accidental two parter today we will be talking about Hobhouse's earlier life up through the bore war which will also hear with other slightly different pronunciations that also vary with people's accents just as a note in part two of this episode will be talking about the years after that war and then up through and after world war one.

So Emily Hobhouse was born April 9th 1860 in St. Eve in eastern Cornwall. St. Eve is not to be confused with St. Ives which is in western Cornwall on the coast.
