The Heroine of a Hundred Battles
The Heroine of a Hundred Battles
Chapter 8 follows Ernestine Rose’s life in Europe and England from 1869 until William’s death in 1882. Travel on the Continent restored her health and she began an active career in the English women’s rights and free-thought movements in 1871. She became good friends with Charles Bradlaugh, George Jacob Holyoake and his brother Austin, Moncure Conway, Mentia and P. A. Taylor, and others. She continued to stay in touch with Stanton and Anthony, and the Roses visited the United States in 1873–1874. She also attended pacifist meetings in Switzerland, England, and France. Her last major speeches were at the London Conference of Liberal Thinkers in 1878.
