Synopsis

This book of 9 essays explores the significance of women's peace activism amid the tragedy of WWI. In the years before 1915, women from different backgrounds created and energised their own vibrant international peace movement based on cooperation and interdependency. The author brings the reader into the heart of a huge conference in The Hague, and we watch as these women fought against the war from the inside, making their voices heard. Their passionate protests led to demands for peace treaties, international tribunals and the establishment of international law. Today, their work continues to inspire, and calls for cooperation and unity against oppression remain as ever-important as they were in the midst of the Great War.
