Madame Anna Gu rin is the fascinating personality behind the title
The Poppy Lady'. Her idea of the Inter-Allied Poppy Day' gave work
to women and children in the devastated areas of France, in
addition to offering support for First World War veterans. Born in
1878, she was an early feminist, becoming financially independent.
During the First World War, and the immediate years after the
Armistice, many people knew of Madame Gu rin's reputation as a
selfless fundraiser for French and American charities. Her speeches
inspired many people to make generous donations. Having had her
name lost in the mists of time, this is the first biography of
Madame E. Gu rin. The book follows her extraordinary story as The
Poppy Lady', a woman born before her time, but confined to
anonymity for too long.
