{"value"=>"<p>Wynner's short works span the length of her participation in activism for world government, and are grouped by form: corrections, essays, letters to the editor, and reviews. General files in this subseries contain brief reviews and essays, some of which lack context and identifying titles. The bulk of this subseries is drafts and revisions of her writings; larger files, such as \"Feminism and Militarism,\" include her research and correspondence discussing the distribution of the final version. Many of Wynner's essays were reproduced and self-distributed following publication; the Campaign for World Government also republished selected Wynner essays as pamphlets.</p> <p>In addition to essays and reviews, short pieces by Wynner, such as historical notes for a peace calendar, biographical dictionary entries, and drafts for the abandoned book project <span class=\"title\">World Government or Annihilation</span> are found in this group, along with scripts for two television appearances, one of which aired on the BBC.</p> <p>Following her death, Wynner and Franciska Schwimmer continued Rosika Schwimmer's correction campaigns that aimed to revise untruthful or unflattering depictions of Schwimmer in history scholarship and the popular press. Wynner's stated intention with many of these corrections was to prevent the dissemination of incorrect facts in the historical record. These files contain correspondence with the author and Wynner's suggested amendments to the published texts. In the case of Frederich Schuman and Albert Lilienthal's books, Wynner distributed correction leaflets to libraries across the country and requested postcard responses to track the libraries that had pasted in her corrections.</p> <p>Some overlap does exist between the groups in this subseries, as Wynner often published a letter to the editor or review of a book that later grew into an essay-length piece. In these instances, all versions of the work are arranged together with the essay, as is the case with \"Scholarship, Trivialization, and Slander,\" \"History that Really is Bunk,\" and \"Scholarly Ramble in the World Government Thickets.\"</p>"}
