Book excerpt: The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) is an international organization founded in 1919. The US Section of WILPF began as the Woman's Peace Party, founded in 1915 by Jane Addams and Carrie Chapman Catt. Addams also served as first president of WILPF's international organization. Both Addams and Emily Greene Balch, WILPF's first international secretary-treasurer, received Nobel Peace Prizes for their work. At its peak in 1940, WILPF's US Section had more than one hundred branches and thirteen thousand members. Insight into the organizational history and mission-related work of the US Section of WILPF can be found in the historical records, correspondence, and serials of this collection. Historical records make up more than one-third of the materials here and include complete sets from 1920 to 1959 of handbooks, annual meeting information, national board minutes and resolutions, and anniversary celebration documents. Committee and fieldwork files treat topics related to the issues of the time, such as US imperialism and disarmament in the 1920s and 1930s; neutrality in the upcoming war in the late 1930s; support for conscientious objectors and European refugees during World War II; and postwar reconstruction activities and United Nations monitoring. Literature files include both public-facing materials, such as pamphlets and speeches, and materials for members, such as form letters. More than half of the collection comprises WILPF national office correspondence from 1919 to 1955. This includes letters to state and local WILPF branches, other peace and justice organizations, government entities, and individuals. Correspondence relates to the many peace-related events organized by WILPF as well as wide-ranging topics such as penal reform and the World's Fair. The final group of materials consists of nearly a dozen periodicals issued by WILPF, including yearly Branch Letters from 1922 to 1959. This collection is essential for researchers studying WILPF and pacifism in the United States during the twentieth century, as well as women's studies researchers and those focused on Jane Addams, Emily Greene Balch, and other WILPF members.

Book Synopsis Our War Too by : Margaret Paton-Walsh
Download or read book Our War Too written by Margaret Paton-Walsh and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1930s, a number of American women—especially those allied with various peace and isolationist groups—protested against the nation's entry into World War II. While their story is fairly well known, Margaret Paton-Walsh reveals a far less familiar story of women who fervently felt that American intervention was absolutely necessary. Paton-Walsh recounts how the United States became involved in the war, but does so through the eyes of American women who faced it as a necessary evil. Covering the period between 1935 and 1941, she examines how these women functioned as political actors-even though they were excluded from positions of power-through activism in women's organizations, informal women's networks, and even male-dominated lobbying groups. In the "Great Debate" over whether America should enter the war, some women favored aid to the Allies not because they hoped for war but because they hoped aid would forestall more direct U.S. involvement-but also because they believed war was preferable to a Nazi victory. Paton-Walsh shows that this activism involved some of the most prominent women of their day. Elizabeth Cutter Morrow-whose son-in-law, Charles Lindbergh, was an isolationist spokesman-supported the revision of the Neutrality Acts to allow the sale of arms to the Allies and expressed her support in a national radio broadcast. Soon other women joined this debate: Esther Brunauer of the AAUW, journalist Dorothy Thompson, and organizations like the League of Women Voters and National Women's Trade Union League broke from the pacifist tradition to advocate American aid for the Allied cause. Focusing on the conflict in Europe, Paton-Walsh shows how these women grasped the implications of the Lend-Lease program for America's entry into the war but supported it nevertheless. By late 1941, the Women's Division of the Fight for Freedom Committee had been established; no longer merely advocating aid to Britain to keep American boys out of battle, this organization supported direct American involvement in the war as a means of stopping Nazi oppression. While most historians have focused on women's pacifism, Paton-Walsh connects women more directly to world events and shows how those interventionists reformulated maternalist ideas to justify and explain their beliefs. Our War Too is a story of American women trying to reconcile the irreconcilable, to preserve both their principles and their peace. It expands our understanding of women as political actors and thinkers about foreign policy as it sheds new light on American public opinion over the build-up to the war.

Book Synopsis Holding Their Breath by : M. Girard Dorsey

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holding Their Breath uncovers just how close Britain, the United States, and Canada came to crossing the red line that restrained chemical weapon use during World War II. Unlike in World War I, belligerents did not release poison gas regularly during the Second World War. Yet, the looming threat of chemical warfare significantly affected the actions and attitudes of these three nations as they prepared their populations for war, mediated their diplomatic and military alliances, and attempted to defend their national identities and sovereignty. The story of chemical weapons and World War II begins in the interwar period as politicians and citizens alike advocated to ban, to resist, and eventually to prepare for gas use in the next war. M. Girard Dorsey reveals, through extensive research in multinational archives and historical literature, that although poison gas was rarely released on the battlefield in World War II, experts as well as lay people dedicated significant time and energy to the weapon's potential use; they did not view chemical warfare as obsolete or taboo. Poison gas was an influential weapon in World War II, even if not deployed in a traditional way, and arms control, for various reasons, worked. Thus, what did not happen is just as important as what did. Holding Their Breath provides insight into these potentialities by untangling World War II diplomacy and chemical weapons use in a new way.

Book Synopsis The Senate Munitions Inquiry of the 1930s by : Matthew W. Coulter
Download or read book The Senate Munitions Inquiry of the 1930s written by Matthew W. Coulter and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1997-07-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Munitions Inquiry, often called the Nye Committee after its chairperson, Senator Gerald Nye, critically examined the pre-World War II military-industrial complex of government agencies, corporations, labor unions, and financial institutions. Cold War-era historians typically presented the inquiry as a naive isolationist search for evil arms dealers who caused wars. Going beyond the concept of the Merchants of Death theory and into the social, intellectual, political, and cultural currents of the 1930s, Coulter expands the dimensions of a topic formerly framed within the narrow confines of isolationism and internationalism. In addition, he shows how the committee's 19th-century values and progressive idealism were unsuited to an era dominated by Hitler and Mussolini. In divesting the Munitions Inquiry of its image as an historical oddity, this book recovers a piece of American history that had been a casualty of World War II and the Cold War.
