This is an unconventional biography of an unconventional woman who did not care for children, but dedicated her life to establishing Save the Children and promoting her revolutionary concept of children's human rights. In this award-winning biography, Clare Mulley brings to life this beautiful, charismatic, and passionate spinster in a brown cardigan who helped save millions of lives and permanently changed the way the world treats children.
