She has been travelling through South Africa, Southern Rhodesia and Australia. Mrs Seward is actively interested in no fewer than 28 women’s organisations. Besides having organised for the Townswomen’s Guilds, she is particularly interested in the Electrical Association for Women. This is essentially a home movement, and aims at teaching women how to make the best use of the current. The founder of this association was Caroline Haslett, C.8.E., C.1.E.E., secretary of the Women's Engineering Society, and there are now close on ICO branches in England.
