EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the historic Mary Sumner House in Westminster, London, stands proudly as the global headquarters of the Mothers' Union, an influential and enduring organization dedicated to improving the lives of families worldwide. Established in 1876 by Mary Sumner, a devout Anglican and social reformer, the Mothers' Union has grown to become a global movement with over 4 million members in 85 countries. The image captures the essence of the organization's rich history and commitment to empowering mothers and families. The imposing façade of the Mary Sumner House, with its grand entrance and intricate stonework, serves as a testament to the organization's longevity and stability. The photograph was taken in 1923, a time when the Mothers' Union was expanding its reach and influence both in the UK and abroad. Mary Sumner's vision for the Mothers' Union was to bring together mothers from all walks of life to address the social issues of the day, such as poverty, domestic abuse, and lack of education. The organization's unique approach, which emphasized the importance of mothers' collective action and Christian values, resonated with women across the globe. Today, the Mothers' Union continues to champion the cause of families, advocating for their rights, and providing practical support and training to help them build better lives. As the hub of this vibrant and dynamic organization, Mary Sumner House remains a symbol of hope and inspiration for millions of families around the world. The photograph captures a moment in time, but the legacy of Mary Sumner and the Mothers' Union endures, continuing to make a positive difference in the lives of countless families for generations to come.
