Fauske and Kaufman conclude [she] used her works to express her feelings on controversial interests. As she wrote in her work 'Helen' 'Women are now so highly cultivated and political subjects are at present of so much importance of such high interest to all human creatures who live together with society. You can hardly expect, Helen, that you as a rational being can go through the world as it is now without forming any opinion on points of public importance. You cannot, I conceive, satisfy yourself with the common namby-pamby little Missy phrase 'ladies have nothing to do with politics''.

Live Aid was a dual-venue benefit concert held on Saturday 13 July 1985, and an ongoing music-based fundraising initiative. The original event was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. The event was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London and John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other countries, such as the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, Yugoslavia, Austria, Australia and West Germany. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast. This was nearly 40% of the world population at the time.
