The Women’s Action Committee for Lasting Peace, an organization associated with the United Nations in New York, wrote to George Bernard Shaw in London, asking him to donate some autographed books for their fund-raising auction.

Shaw refused the request.  In his eyes, the Women’s Action Committee was insignificant compared to the cause of the United Nations, and he didn’t feel it was worth his time. He criticized them harshly in his reply.

The women put the letter up for sale in their auction.  While a popular autographed book brought them only $70, Shaw’s letter sold for $170.

The Women’s Action Committee, which Shaw had looked down upon, proved a notch above him after all.  Instead of taking offense at Shaw’s letter, they recognized it as a valuable item for their auction. Their judgement proved right, and Shaw, ironically enough, ended up contributing a great deal more to the women’s organization he had disparaged by offering something of much more value than their original request.
