An absorbingly interesting narrative of personal experience by the only woman member of the Relief Commission, who tells in moving language the story of the unbreakable spirit sustaining the Belgians and the noble service the Belgian women have rendered and inspired in a land made desolate by war.
_Chairman, Commission for Relief in Belgium_
To quote from Mr. Hoover’s own foreword: “The soul of Belgium received a grievous wound, but the women of Belgium are staunching the flow, sustaining and leading this stricken nation to greater strength and greater life. We of the Relief have been proud of the privilege to place the tools in the hands of these women and have watched their skilful use and their improvement in method with hourly admiration.... Mrs. Kellogg has done more than record in simple terms passing impressions of the varied facts of the work of these women, for she spent months in loving sympathy with them. We offer her little book as our, and Mrs. Kellogg’s tribute in admiration of them and the inspiration which they have contributed to this whole organization.”
