Women Reflect on War Relief Duty and Duty to Help
A Wilmington discussion among National Special Aid Society and Red Cross volunteers explores the moral weight of war relief. One suffragette speaker notes fifteen hours weekly of paid work do not match the battlefield’s horrors, urging fuller effort and personal sacrifice. She likens relief work to climbing a ladder needing two steps to reach the goal. The piece invokes the Comrade in White to symbolize divine comfort for wounded and grieving soldiers and civilians, urging broader service as privilege and opportunity in wartime.
