Disaffection and New Directions

Abstract

Less than a week after the February 1915 NU Council meeting, a handful of British women — Courtney, Marshall, Macmillan, Leaf, and Theodora Wilson Wilson (a Quaker suffragist and writer,¹ who like Marshall had roots in Cumberland) were in Amsterdam, where they met with women from Belgium, Holland, and Germany. Three days later they were back in Britain with close-to-complete plans and draft resolutions for an ambitious international women’s congress to be held at The Hague in April.
