摘要

本文将从传记和人道主义的交叉角度探讨海伦·门罗·弗格森夫人的一生，她在20世纪初的英国妇女运动中发挥了重要的领导作用，包括苏格兰和澳大利亚的红十字会。本文探讨了在没有个人收藏或回忆录、资料有限的情况下，如何构建一位著名女性人道主义者的传记叙事。组织记录如何影响我们的解释，性别在其中扮演什么角色?推测性的传记能帮助我们将一位著名但已被时间遗忘的女性带回到现实生活中吗?

‘In the Service of Others Her Life Was Spent’: Re-Creating the Humanitarian Life of Lady Helen Munro Ferguson

ABSTRACT This article takes the intersection of biography and humanitarianism to explore the life of Lady Helen Munro Ferguson who played a significant leadership role in women’s activism in Britain in the early twentieth century including the Red Cross in Scotland and Australia. The paper explores the problems of constructing a biographical narrative of a leading female humanitarian when there is no personal collection or memoir and limited sources. How do organisational records affect our interpretation and what role does gender play? Could speculative biography help in bringing to life a woman of note but lost to time?
