{"value"=>"<p>Letters from Franciska Schwimmer and Edith Wynner are intermingled, maintaining original order and indicating the level of close professional collaboration between these two women. Schwimmer, sister to the more well-known Rosika Schwimmer, and Wynner, personal secretary to Rosika Schwimmer and later consultant to the Schwimmer-Lloyd Collection at the New York Public Library, were family friends of the Lloyds.</p> <p>The materials present discussions of both family and the professional interests of all three women, in addition to their reminiscences on Rosika Schwimmer. Of note are the 1956 letters mentioning the flight abroad of Hungarian refugees, following the failed revolution in that country. Schwimmer and Wynner gathered together care packages to send to several Hungarian friends, who would share them amongst feminist colleagues suffering from the chaos and shortages following the revolution. Wynner wrote encouraging O'Connor to fund several such care packages herself.</p> <p>Among other topics discussed in the correspondence were Jessie O'Connor's newspaper articles; the questioning of Harvey O'Connor by the House Un-American Activities Committee; various projects in which Wynner and Schwimmer were involved, especially pertaining to peace and world government; and news on friends and associates, including Frieda Langer Lazarus, Katherine Devereaux Blake, Count Mihaly Karolyi, and Irving Caesar.</p>"}
