Kinsmen and Kinswomen included the Suffragettes Emmeline Pethick Lawrence, Mary Neal and May Billinghurst, the journalist Henry Nevinson and the photographer Angus MacBean. The Advisory Committee included such names as Havelock Ellis, Maurice Maeterlink, the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, H.G. Wells and Professor Julian Huxley. D. H. Lawrence
Does anyone know whether AR's circle included any of the above?
