Dorothy Frances Buxton (née Jebb; 3 August 1881 – 8 April 1963) was an English humanitarian, social activist and commentator on Germany.
Her writing inspired the Fight the Famine Council, founded in 1918 as an effort to alleviate starvation of civilians in Germany and Austria-Hungary during the Allied blockade of Germany in World War I, which led to the Save the Children Fund, which she and her sister, Eglantyne Jebb, founded in 1919.
[2] Upon her return, she informed George Bell, Bishop of Chicester, that German Christians whom she had met "seemed oppressed and bound with the apparent necessity of extreme caution".
[4] Though her husband campaigned for appeasement of Germany, Dorothy Buxton became convinced that war was necessary against the Nazis.
[5] Archives of Save the Children, including papers of Dorothy Buxton, are held at the Cadbury Research Library, University of Birmingham.
