Eileen Younghusband (1902-1981)

Author, educator, and a major organizer of British social work, Dame Eileen was on the faculty of the London School of Economics for many years. She helped establish Great Britain's Citizen's Advice Bureaus (CABs) in World War II and the modern British juvenile court system, and she redeveloped the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW). Her classic social work texts include Social Work and Social Change (1964) and Casework with Families and Children (1965).
