Because of the success of woman suffrage and concerns about World War I, women activists became involved in promoting peace. The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) was a prominent organization in this movement, taking an active part in both national and international political processes. Issues of interest to the WILPF during the 1930s included international disarmament, investigation of the munitions industry, and racial justice. Red-baiting, along with the unpopularity of pacifism prior toWorld War II, lessened the influence of the WILPF. However, today’s socialworkers can learn much from the WILPF’s efforts of 70 years ago.
