Most Dangerous Women: Feminist Peace Campaigners of the Great War"This volume describes the activities of women's peace groups during World War I and depicts the efforts of women to encourage a negotiated end to the conflict. The author's aim is to assess how the women's suffrage movement responded to the First World War, concentrating on those feminists who worked for peace. The book gives a comprehensive view of a crucial era in women's history and illuminates the feminist pacifist scene of the 1920s in England, Germany, the United States, Russia, and many other countries." -- from GWonline |
