Bonnie Laughlin-Schultz. The Tie That Bound Us
Most biographies of John Brown include some reference to his having been married twice and having fathered 20 children. Usually, it is also mentioned that one son (Frederick) died in Kansas, two (Watson and Oliver) at Harpers Ferry, and others (John Jr., Jason, Owen, and Salmon) were involved in Brown's violent abolitionist activities. But what about the women in the family? Although noted biographers such as Stephen B. Oates (To Purge This Land …
Amy C.Schneidhorst. Building a Just and Secure World
Women (and Others) as Movers and Shakers in Pre-World War I Europe and the United States
It would be unbelievable today to think of your average peace activist moving between Washington, DC, and Baghdad, say, to initiate a neutral mediation plan. Yet, before U.S. entrance into World War I, this amazing possibility existed in the form of women's and mixed-gender organizations and private citizens who established contact with President Woodrow Wilson and a host of foreign diplomats. In David S. Patterson's new book, The Search for Nego…

T he T ransformation of R obert E. S herwood from P acifist to I nterventionist
The playwright Robert E. Sherwood is most known for his powerful antiwar voice on Broadway during the late 1920s and 1930s. A veteran of World War I, Sherwood's ideas echoed those of many in the U.S. population during the interwar years—anger at corporate greed and power‐hungry world leaders, and disillusionment with Woodrow Wilson's stated war goal of “making the world safe for democracy.” As fascism spread in Europe, Sherwood evolved from a pac…

Pursuing a World of Law, Justice, and Peace
Dorothy V. Jones has done us all a great service by writing Toward a Just World, a book which traces the development of the concept of international justice during the first half of the twentieth century which, Jones contends, “set the tone and direction for the efforts made in the second half of the century and on into the next century as well” (p. xi). In this most readable and fascinating work, the author concentrates on the connections betwee…
Where politics and performance meet in US women's history
Slammin' at the AHA
The theme of the 2001 annual meeting of the American Historical Association, 'Practices of Historical Narrative', attracted a variety of panels. The following short piece traces one such panel from its conception to presentation. Taking the theme to heart, the panellists created a 'slam' (or reading) of narrative histories written by experienced historians, a graduate student and an undergraduate student, and then opened the session to readings f…

Gender and Peace Politics in the First World War United States
has been much discussion among historians of the United States about the preference of women for working in separate women-only organizations rather than in mixed groups. Most attention has been paid to the period just before and after the winning of the vote in 1920. Estelle Freedman, who has always stressed the importance of such organizations to both creating a women's culture and institution-building before 1920, used to argue that the system…
Dissension in the ranks
Historical accounts of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) and other women's peace organizations generally emphasize national leaders. These women tended to be educated, white, Protestant, and monied. The local branch histories—the stories of average women from all backgrounds—are only recently emerging. Perhaps the following account of WILPF's New York City branch can make a small contribution to reconstructing a more …
