У меня намедни так шестая драгоценная корона несколько недель в пакетике жила
Немного о кавалерше на аглицком
Kathleen Burke was born in England in 1887, to Irish parents. Her father Thomas Burke was a railway clerk and said to be descended from Edmund Burke (though I can find no evidence of this). She was a dynamic woman, who embarked on whirlwind tours of Europe and the United States, raising vast sums of money for the war relief effort especially on behalf of the Scottish Women’s Hospital. She seeems to have been adept at media management and public relations. There are multiple contemporary newspaper accounts of interviews which she gave to New York Times.
According to The Biographical Cyclopædia of American Women, she was educated at Oxford University. At the outbreak of ww1, she volunteered with the British refugee Commission and worked in Belgium. She escaped from Ostend two days before the Germans invaded. She joined the Scottish Women’s Hospital in 1915 as their Organising Secretary and visited many major battle scenes including Vimy Ridge and Verdun where she was wounded.
It was her work as a public speaker and fundraiser that brought her most acclaim. In a 1918 article in The Tablet, her achievements are outlined in glowing terms. “Few women have been able to exert such sway over American audiences as Miss Burke. She was allowed to speak on the New York Stock Exchange—a privilege never before granted to a woman—and her appeal on that occasion brought her £2,000 by that speech alone.
In September, 1916, she set out for America again ; and the net result of her two money-raising campaigns there has been the sum of £60,000 for the Scottish Women’s Hospitals and £250,000 for the French and Serbians.” Hence her title, the thousand-dollar-a-day-girl. General Petain, being more sentimental (and verbose) called her “The Knight of Tenderness and Pity across the World”
She wrote of her experiences in several books including The White Road to Verdun.
She was one of the most decorated women of the war. Her credits include Daughters of the Empire of Canada, and is an Officer de l’Instruction Publique of France, Commander of the Order of the British Empire (apparently the youngest CBE), and a Knight of St. Sava of Serbia. She was awarded the British Service Medal, the British Victory Medal, the French Red Cross Medal, the Order of Misericorde of Serbia, the Serbian Cross of Charity, the Russian Cross of St. George, and the Greek War Cross.
