Book excerpt: In January 1915, suffragist Carrie Chapman Catt and settlement founder Jane Addams formed the Woman's Peace Party (WPP) to oppose World War I. The WPP advocated continuous mediation to end the war, as well as women's suffrage. Addams became WPP chair. By 1916, the WPP had two hundred branches and forty thousand members. Along with other peace groups, the WPP unsuccessfully urged President Woodrow Wilson to support mediation. Although the WPP had a national office and officers, local groups undertook much work on their own. When Wilson entered the war in 1917 and Congress passed laws suppressing dissent, divisions arose within the WPP, and many local groups disbanded. The national office and the Massachusetts branch supported war relief efforts, while the New York WPP strenuously opposed any war involvement. In 1919, after the war's end, women from Europe and the United States met in Zurich and created the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). The Woman's Peace Party then became the US Section of WILPF. This collection includes files from 1914 to 1920, more than half of which consist of WPP correspondence. The remaining materials are administrative and historical records from the national office and several state branches of the organization. These include board meeting minutes, speeches, membership lists, resolutions, financial information, Congressional hearing reports, committee reports, form letters, press releases, study course and reference materials, clippings, pictures, and periodicals. National office correspondence illustrates the WPP's coordination with other peace groups and its work across the United States, including opposition to school physical education classes emphasizing military training; involvement in the Ford peace expedition; work with conscientious objectors; and involvement in food relief after the United States entered the war. State-level materials include records of the Massachusetts branch's conferences and study courses and the New York group's periodical, Four Lights. Documentation from other local branches highlights legislative and civic actions. Well-known correspondents include Jane Addams, Emily Greene Balch, Crystal Eastman, and Woodrow Wilson. The collection is vital for those researching the twentieth-century peace movement, women's studies, suffrage, and American history in general at the end of the Progressive Era.

Download or read book Sophonisba Breckinridge written by Anya Jabour and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sophonisba Breckinridge's remarkable career stretched from the Civil War to the Cold War. She took part in virtually every reform campaign of the Progressive and New Deal eras and became a nationally and internationally renowned figure. Her work informed women’s activism for decades and continues to shape progressive politics today. Anya Jabour's biography rediscovers this groundbreaking American figure. After earning advanced degrees in politics, economics, and law, Breckinridge established the University of Chicago's School of Social Service Administration, which became a feminist think tank that promoted public welfare policy and propelled women into leadership positions. In 1935, Breckinridge’s unremitting efforts to provide government aid to the dispossessed culminated in her appointment as an advisor on programs for the new Social Security Act. A longtime activist in international movements for peace and justice, Breckinridge also influenced the formation of the United Nations and advanced the idea that "women’s rights are human rights." Her lifelong commitment to social justice created a lasting legacy for generations of progressive activists.
Download or read book Women Will Vote written by Susan Goodier and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women Will Vote celebrates the 2017 centenary of women’s right to full suffrage in New York State. Susan Goodier and Karen Pastorello highlight the activism of rural, urban, African American, Jewish, immigrant, and European American women, as well as male suffragists, both upstate and downstate, that led to the positive outcome of the 1917 referendum. Goodier and Pastorello argue that the popular nature of the women’s suffrage movement in New York State and the resounding success of the referendum at the polls relaunched suffrage as a national issue. If women had failed to gain the vote in New York, Goodier and Pastorello claim, there is good reason to believe that the passage and ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment would have been delayed. Women Will Vote makes clear how actions of New York’s patchwork of suffrage advocates heralded a gigantic political, social, and legal shift in the United States. Readers will discover that although these groups did not always collaborate, by working in their own ways toward the goal of enfranchising women they essentially formed a coalition. Together, they created a diverse social and political movement that did not rely solely on the motivating force of white elites and a leadership based in New York City. Goodier and Pastorello convincingly argue that the agitation and organization that led to New York women’s victory in 1917 changed the course of American history.

Download or read book Inez written by Linda J. Lumsden and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2004-07-08 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inez Milholland was the most glamorous suffragist of the 1910s and a fearless crusader for women's rights. Moving in radical circles, she agitated for social change in the prewar years, and she epitomized the independent New Woman of the time. Her death at age 30 while stumping for suffrage in California in 1916 made her the sole martyr of the American suffrage movement. Her death helped inspire two years of militant protests by the National Woman's Party, including the picketing of the White House, which led in 1920 to ratification of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote. Lumsden's study of this colorful and influential figure restores to history an important link between the homebound women of the 19th century and the iconoclastic feminists of the 1970s.
Download or read book Rendezvous with Death written by Mark W. Van Wienen and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This masterfully assembled volume, arranged chronologically, reveals American poets' shifting, conflicting reactions to the war and highlights their efforts to shape U.S. policies and define American attitudes. In his introduction, Mark W. Van Wienen describes the rapid, politically charged responses possible in a culture attuned to poetry. His historical and biographical notes provide a sturdy framework for the study of poetry's role in social activism and change during the "war to end war." The most complete resource of its kind, Rendezvous with Death brings together poetry originally published in little magazines, labor journals, newspapers, and wartime anthologies. Alight with sorrow, grace, silliness, satire, pride, and anger, works by IWW members, sock poets, pacifists, and protestors take their places next to those by Edith Wharton, Alan Seeger, Wallace Stevens, James Weldon Johnson, Amy Lowell, and Claude McKay.

Download or read book The New Atlantic Order written by Patrick O. Cohrs and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-12 with total page 1133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This magisterial new history elucidates a momentous transformation process that changed the world: the struggle to create, for the first time, a modern Atlantic order in the long twentieth century (1860–2020). Placing it in a broader historical and global context, Patrick O. Cohrs reinterprets the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 as the original attempt to supersede the Eurocentric 'world order' of the age of imperialism and found a more legitimate peace system – a system that could not yet be global but had to be essentially transatlantic. Yet he also sheds new light on why, despite remarkable learning-processes, it proved impossible to forge a durable Atlantic peace after a First World War that became the long twentieth century's cathartic catastrophe. In a broader perspective this ground-breaking study shows what a decisive impact this epochal struggle has had not only for modern conceptions of peace, collective security and an integrative, rule-based international order but also for formative ideas of self-determination, liberal-democratic government and the West.
