{"value"=>"<p>Wynner's drafts for <span class=\"title\">The Life and Times of Rosika Schwimmer</span> comprise the majority of this subseries. Her queries to publishers in the early 1960s are included, in which she attempted to secure a publishing contract in advance of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Peace Expedition. Wynner's early proposal and outline provide a narrative structure for the book, and the drafts in this subseries have been roughly arranged in that order.</p> <p>As a historical biography, Wynner's writing in <span class=\"title\">The Life and Times of Rosika Schwimmer</span> provides detailed accounts of Schwimmer's life and work alongside historical context for the period. Topics discussed are Hungarian history, peace activism during World War I-particularly the events following the International Congress of Women-and the Ford Peace Expedition. The drafts cover what is presumed, based on the outline, to be the first half of the biography. Most drafts contain headings on each page that denote topical sections or chapters. \"First Set\" drafts appear to be Wynner's earliest work on the chapters, while \"Inserts\" denote rewritten portions of chapters that she did not integrate into existing files.</p>"}
