Description

[[person:572]Alice Gordon] had written to the Editor of The Times (5 January 1893): 'A library has been built in the Women's Building of the Chicago Exhibition, in which the best books written by women of all nations are to be exhibited. We are anxious that English women's writings should be well represented. A committee has been formed consisting of Miss Agnes Clerke, Mrs. W. K. Clifford, Mrs. Green, Miss Kingsley, Mrs. Humphry Ward, Miss Charlotte Yonge, and Mrs. J. E. H. Gordon, to collect a representative library.' She asked for the gift or loan of books or MSS.
