Osgood was known primarily for her exhaustively researched book, 'The City Without Walls : An Anthology setting forth the Drama of Human Life'.[2] It's a collection of the world's spiritual literature, spanning both religious and cultural differences. In its introduction, the famed Irish writer and poet A.E. George William Russell said "I do not know of any better book to dispel, without controversy, the arrogance of ignorance...."
