The Women's Peace Union (WPU) grew out of the women's suffrage movement of the early twentieth century. In an important contribution, Harriet Hyman Alonso investigates the personalities and the philosophical disagreements of the WPU leading members on their political tactics and fierce commitment to pacifism and feminism, and on their eventual burnout. Drawing on a wealth of primary materials, Alonso traces the lineage of today's women's peace movement from Garrisonian abolitionism through the suffrage movement groups such as the WPU to contemporary efforts of the Seneca Women's Peace Encampment.

Peace as a Women's Issue is a comprehensive history of the feminist peace movement in the United States during the last two centuries. This absorbing history traces the development of the women's campaign for peace from its roots in nineteenth-century abolitionist and suffrage movements to its expression during the recent war in the Middle East. The development of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) takes center stage, but many other groups, ranging from the Women's Peace Union of the 1920s to later movements such as Women Strike for Peace, Women for Racial and Economic Equality, and the peace encampments of the 1980s arc all examined. Here too one will read about the many prominent figures who have had major roles in this history: Jane Addams and Carrie Chapman Catt of the Woman's Peace Party; Fanny Garrison Villard, daughter of abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison; Nobel Peace Prize winner Emily Greene Balch; Dorothy Detzer of the WILPF; and Mary Church Terrell, the first president of the National Association of Colored Women. This much-needed history of the feminist peace movement in the United States makes possible a fuller, better nuanced, and more balanced treatment of the history of the entire US peace movement.

A study of the Women's Peace Union illustrates what some suffragists did after winning the vote and how pacifists tried to heal a world recently torn apart by war. For former suffragists, the period after World War I presented a unique challenge; that is, how to utilize existing organizations and the newly won vote to achieve world peace. For the Women's Peace Union, the answer lay[s] within the suffragist movement itself. Adapting the ideas of Salmon O. Levinson, the founder of the Outlawry of War movement, the WPU leaders, including Elinor Byrns, Caroline Lexcow Babcock, Tracey Mygatt, Gertrude Franchot Tone, Frieda Langer Lazarus and, for six months, Jeannette Rankin, wrote and campaigned for a constitutional amendment to outlaw war and the manufacturing and trading of war materiel. As powerless individuals in a patriarchal society, the women, through extensive lobbying, found a male senator, Lynn Joseph Frazier, to espouse their cause. Frazier, a North Dakota populist, introduced the amendment into every Congressional session from 1936 to 1939. The WPU also organized three Senate hearings (1927, 1930 and 1934) and sent a representative to the League of Nations Disarmament Conference in Geneva in 1932 to campaign for international outlawry laws. Although strong and active in the 1920s, the WPU faced many problems in the 1930s. First, Depression economics greatly limited their finances. Second, their uncompromising pacifist position and one issue program isolated them from the majority of the other peace activities. Third, their concentration on cultivating high-level politicians prevented grassroots organizing. Finally, their Utopian vision inhibited the adaption of their demands to the 1930s growth of fascism and militarism. Although never officially disbanded, the WPU ceased operations in 1941, just before Pearl Harbor was attacked.

How have Americans sought peaceful, rather than destructive, solutions to domestic and world conflict? This two-volume set documents peace and antiwar movements in the United States from the colonial era to the present. Although national leaders often claim to be fighting to achieve peace, the real peace seekers struggle against enormous resistance to their message and have often faced persecution for their efforts. Despite a well-established pattern of being involved in wars, the United States also has a long tradition of citizens who made extensive efforts to build and maintain peaceful societies and prevent the destructive human and material costs of war. Unarmed activists have most consistently upheld American values at home. Opposition to War: An Encyclopedia of U.S. Peace and Antiwar Movements investigates this historical tradition of resistance to involvement in armed conflict—an especially important and relevant topic today as the nation has been mired in numerous military conflicts throughout most of the current century. The book examines a largely misunderstood and underappreciated minority of Americans who have committed themselves to finding peaceful resolutions to domestic and international conflicts—individuals who have proposed and conducted an array of practical and creative methods for peaceful change, from the transformation of individual behavior to the development of international governing and legal systems, for more than 250 years. Readers will learn how individuals working alone or organized into societies of various size have steadfastly campaigned to stop war, end the arms race, eliminate the underlying causes of war, and defend the civil liberties of Americans when wartime nationalism most threatens them.

June 2016 represents a significant moment in British history. The decision to leave the European Union at the most critical period since its existence could bring unpredictable and far-reaching consequences both for the United Kingdom and the Union itself. June 1940 was also a turning point in British history. On the afternoon of 16 June, a few hours before the French Government opted for the capitulation, Churchill made, on behalf of the British Government, an offer of “indissoluble union.” When a sceptical Churchill put forward to the British Cabinet the text of the declaration drafted by Jean Monnet, Sir Arthur Salter, and Robert Vansittart, he was surprised at the amount of support it received. The Cabinet adopted the document with some minor amendments, and de Gaulle, who saw it as a means of keeping France in the war, telephoned Reynaud with the proposal for an “indissoluble union” with “joint organs of defence, foreign, financial and economic policies,” a common citizenship and a single War Cabinet. The proposal, however, never reached the table of the French Government. The spirit of capitulation, embodied in Weygand and Pétain prevailed, and France submitted herself to the German will, for the second time in seventy years. After the Munich crisis, Great Britain had to face the danger of another European war, with the inevitable loss of the Empire, and it was at this point that the country first began to favour the application of the federalist principle to Anglo-French relations. In this conversion to federalism, a fundamental role was played by the Federal Union, the first federalist movement organised on a popular basis. The contribution of Federal Union to the development of the federal idea in Great Britain and Europe was to express and organise the beginning of a new political militancy, and it represented the first step of a historical process: the overcoming of the nation State, the modern political formula which institutionalises the political division of mankind. This study principally examines the first eighteen months of the Federal Union, during which time it was able to raise itself to the attention of the general public, and the political class, as the heir of the League of Nations Union. The research is based on extensive unpublished archival material, found across the globe, from London, Oxford, Brighton, and Edinburgh to Washington, Paris, and Geneva.

A study of the women who led the United States section of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in the interwar years, this book argues that the ideas of these women--the importance of nurturing, nonviolence, feminism, and a careful balancing of people's differences with their common humanity--constitute an important addition to our understanding of the intellectual heritage of the United States. Most of these women were well educated and prominent in their chosen fields: they included Jane Addams and Emily Greene Balch, the only two United States women to win Nobel Prizes for Peace; Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress; and Dorothy Detzer, the woman who prompted the investigation of the munitions industry in the 1930's. The ideas of these women were not usually expressed in forms conventionally studied by intellectual historians. On the whole, their ideas must be teased out of organizational records, statements of principle and policy, and personal correspondence. When combined with an understanding of the personal backgrounds of the WIL leaders and placed in the context of early-twentieth-century America, these documents tell us what these women thought was important and why. The ideas of the WIL leaders are also analyzed in the context of the intellectual themes of Victorianism and modernism. Our understanding of these themes has been based largely on the work of privileged European and American men, and the ideas of women often fit uncomfortably into these traditional categories. A reconstruction of the ideas of the WIL leaders suggests that historians have overlooked an important, alternative intellectual tradition in the United States. To understand and appreciate women's thoughts, we must dissolve the old constructs and let new, multifaceted ones replace them.
