Emily Stands Strong




Track 3 from 'Yours for Eternity' is a small tribute to the life and work of Emily Hobhouse, who challenged the motives for the Second Boer War [and indeed all wars] and highlighted the plight of women and children. A thorn in the side of the establishment and villified by the British Press [aside from the - then - Manchester Guardian], Emily is known in South Africa as the 'Angel of Love'. Read full lyrics here and more about Emily Hobhouse here.
