Women's Peace Society: Bibliography

Swarthmore College Peace Collection, Women's Peace Society Records (DG 106). “Women's Peace Society Records, 1914-1933,” Gifted of the Women’s Peace Union, 1947. https://www.swarthmore.edu/library/peace/DG100-150/DG106WPS.html.[1]

In the Swarthmore College Peace Collection of Women's Peace Society Records from 1914 to 1933, they highlight the importance of literature produced by the Women's Peace Society. Swarthmore College highlights the importance of the use of the Women's Peace Society's teaching methods to the public by using different pieces of essays and writings as well as their active role in protests, demonstrations, and other public events. This source also highlights the importance of the foundation of the Women's Peace Union of the Western Hemisphere with women from the Women's Peace Society and members from Canada who took part in peace movements. Members in these organizations pledged their alliance to the group by agreeing that it's unjust to harm other human beings no matter the circumstance. The Women's Peace Society would evolve into a more political group who pushed for equality, justice, and banning of war. This source is very important in understanding the Women's Peace Society's active role with the public and spreading their moral ideas to others. This is a great source due to it's neutral tone and use of accurate information that was provided by the Women's Peace Union in 1947 with different types of newsletters and photographs from real life events.

In this passage written by Assistant Professor of Sociology at Hendrix College, Lisa Leitz, she overviews the Women's Peace Society as well as the important historical background which helped to create this movement. Leitz highlights that the Women's Peace Society based their organization off of Helen Frances "Fanny" Garrison Villard's father, William Lloyd Garrison. William Garrison was an American abolitionist during the early nineteenth century that was the voice of abolition and believed in the newly emerging ideas of anti-slavery. This organization of women who were primarily part of the Women's Peace Party New York Chapter rallied almost three thousand members together to spread the new ideas of treating life as a precious gift, no matter the gender and race of people. This group was primarily focused on creating a constitutional amendment which banned war with other countries to eliminate violence and the millions of death that took place during WWI. This excerpt is a very informational overview of the important history of the Women's Peace Society as well as the background information on how the organization came to be founded. Although this passage was written on Britannica Encyclopedia, it was written by a non-biased professor who has credible information on this topic making it a great source to use for my research.

Villard, Fanny Garrison. Nation 110, no. 2850 (February 14, 1920): 197–99. http://search.ebscohost.com.cordproxy.mnpals.net/login.aspx?direct=true&db=pwh&AN=13646880.[3]

In this essay written by Fanny Garrison Villard, Fanny writes about her admiration for Susan B. Anthony. Susan B. Anthony was one of the United States earliest women's rights activists who pushed for anti-slavery during her lifetime as well as social equality. Fanny Garrison Villard writes and honors the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Susan B. Anthony, remembering and commemorating her hard work as an early activist for women and those who didn't have voices. Fanny remembers her positive attributions to society as an early women's suffragist, highlighting Anthony's strengths such as being a strong speaker and a kind woman who seemed to have zero negative traits. Fanny also recollects her memories as a young child when Susan B. Anthony came to visit her family and talk with Fanny's father, WIlliam Lloyd Garrison, who was also an American abolitionist and social reformer. Fanny Garrison Villard grew up with many influential people in her life who would shape her life and further her work as a women's suffrage campaigner. This essay was written by the founder of the Women's Peace Union in a newspaper, The Nation, which considers itself a continuation of William Lloyd Garrison's anti-slavery newspaper, The Liberator. This is a great source for me to use as it is a first hand account of Fanny Garrison Villard's experiences as a child with Susan B. Anthony and talks about how experiences with people like Anthony and her father shaped her life to become a peace activist.

Alonso, Harriet Hyman. “Suffragists for Peace during the Interwar Years 1919-1941.” Peace & Change 14, no. 3 (July 1989). doi:10.1111/j.1468-0130.1989.tb00127.x.[4]

In this excerpt from chapter four of "Peace as a Women's Issue: A History of the U.S. Movement for World Peace and Women's Rights" accounts for many of the different women suffragists during this time who tried their best at informing others the issues of war. Many women across the country heard of the many travesties of World War I and were also affected by the deaths of their husbands, sons, and other family members and friends. Women suffragists pushed for world peace and wanted to end the violence which would not only affect those fighting, but their loved ones back home. Many influential women such as the founder of the Women's Peace Society organization, Fanny Garrison Villard, all came together to conclude that ongoing wars were quite useless and were products of reckless decisions made by the men in power during the early 1920's. This source is very credible, as it was published by Harriet Hyman Alonso accounting for the feminist ideologies of the feminist peace movement in the United States. Harriet Hyman Alonso is a very credible author, being a historian who focused on her commmitment to human rights.
