A linguist—she had spent two years at school in Geneva—McDonnell sufficiently impressed the members of her committee to be asked to reprise her views to the plenary of the Assembly: ‘I spoke on the work of the women police in South Australia before the Fifth Committee, and their practical work among women and young girls, and was invited to address the Assembly on this subject.’48

In an address to her branch of the LNU after her return, she underlined the vital importance of international organisation:

[S]he believed that the world could not get on without the League. It had come to stay, and its work could be done only by an international body of the kind. It was working as a pool of knowledge collected from all over the world. Any nation might apply for that knowledge, and get it, and many nations had already greatly benefited in matters concerning finance, health, and welfare. It was the best machinery yet invented for dealing with the plague of war. A great point emphasised in the speeches at the assembly was the power of public opinion and how the League was dependent on the amount of good it could do.49
