Since 1919 Save the Children has fought to uphold the human rights of children worldwide. Now promoted by the likes of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Julianne Moore the charity’s founder was a childless spinster whose most famous line, I don’t care for children’ makes hers a most unconventional story. Eglantyne’s short life was full of passion and pain, moving from illicit romance in Cambridge to espionage in Serbia. Her achievements in putting children’s universal human rights on the world agenda are a powerful testament to her eccentric charisma and humane vision. Clare Mulley joined Save the Children as a corporate fundraiser in the 1990s. Mother of three daughters, she currently lives in Essex, UK.
