Geraldine Blair was a friend to Rebecca Shelley (1887-1984), a participant in the World War I peace movement and later peace activities, from approximately the mid-1970s until Shelley's death in 1984. Identifying herself either as the "Unofficial Coordinator of Shelley Projects" or "Unofficial Chairman of Friends of Shelley," Blair worked to fulfill two of Shelley's expressed wishes: to have her life story written and to have a movie made of her life.
