Innovative Means to Promote Peace During World War I. Julia Grace Wales and Her Plan for Continuous Mediation
Master’s Degree programme in International Relations Second Cycle (D.M. 270/2004) Final Thesis Innovative Means to Promote Peace During World War I. Julia Grace Wales and Her Plan for Continuous Mediation. Supervisor Ch. Prof. Bruna Bianchi Assistant supervisor Ch. Prof. Geraldine Ludbrook Graduand Flaminia Curci Matriculation Number 860960 Academic Year 2017 / 2018 ABSTRACT At the breakout of World War I many organizations for promoting peace emerged all over the world and in the United States as well, especially after the subsequent American declaration of war in April 1917. Peace movements began to look for new means for settling the dispute, and a large contribution was offered by women. World War I gave women the chance to rise their public acknowledgment and to increase their rights through war-related activities. The International Congress of Women at The Hague held in April 1915, demonstrates the great ability of women in advocating peace activities. Among the resolutions adopted by Congress stands out the Plan for Continuous Mediation without Armistice theorized by the Canadian peace activist Julia Grace Wales (see Appendix II). This thesis intends to investigate Julia Grace Wales’ proposal for a Conference of neutral nations for continuous and independent mediation without armistice. After having explored women’s activism for peace in the United States with a deep consideration to the role of women in Canada, the focus is addressed on a brief description of Julia Grace Wales’ life in order to understand what factors led her to conceive such a plan. Through the analysis of her plan and her writings it is possible to understand that her project is not only an international arbitration towards the only purpose of welfare, but also an analysis of the conditions that led to war so as to change them for avoiding future wars.

Jane Addams and Peace Education for Socia Justice
Jane Addams and the Promotion of Peace and Social Justice Among the Masses Charles F. Howlett, Ph.D., Molloy College INTRODUCTION Jane Addams was the first American female to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. She was a co-recipient with Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University. Addams was a social reformer, founder of Hull House in Chicago, and the leader of the women’s peace movement in the first half of the twentieth century. She authored a number of books, including her popular autobiography, Twenty Years at Hull House. Addams is considered one of America’s foremost female intellectual leaders? and a pioneer in the practical application of progressive education ideas to everyday life. BACKGROUND Born on September 6, 1860 in Cedarville, Illinois, and later educated at Rockville Female Seminary in Illinois (renamed Rockville Women’s College), Addams later established herself as one of the leading females in the areas of social reform, women’s suffrage, and war opponent. A powerful writer and thinker in her own right, Addams’ ideas were largely influenced by University of Chicago philosopher and educator John Dewey. In the 1890s, before he moved on to Columbia University, Dewey’s pragmatism opened Addams’ moralistic and religious training to the hard fact that conflict was a reality of everyday life, but one capable of transforming social disruption into progress and harmony. In the late 1890s and at the turn of the new century, Addams quickly understood the role that powerful financiers and political privilege played in maintaining class divisions. The bitter class warfare of the last decades of the nineteenth century, along with economic depressions, convinced Addams that benevolent change based on peace and justice education was possible to improve American society and the state of the world.

*Delegations to Capitals.Pages
Delegations from the 1915 Congress of Women The Congress of Women at The Hague in 1915 elected women to travel as envoys to speak with the leaders of nations, neutral and belligerent, to persuade them to seek a mediated settlement to end the war in Europe. The women from neutral countries visited those nations at war, whilst women from the waring nations visited the leaders of neutral countries. “We went into the office of another high official, a large grizzled, formidable man. When we had finished our presentation and he said nothing, I remarked, “It perhaps seems to you very foolish that women should go about in this way; but after all, the world itself is so strange in this war situation that our mission may be no more strange not foolish than the rest.” He banged his fist on the table. “Foolish?” he said. “Not at all. These are the first sensible words that have been uttered in this room for ten months”. Jane Addams.

8. Aletta Henriëtte Jacobs 1854 –1929
8. Aletta Henriëtte Jacobs 1854 –1929 ‘Fighting for what is right, makes life worth living’. Zo kennen we haar, een vrouw die kracht uitstraalde, aandacht en liefde, en die zichzelf niet spaarde. Aletta is in Nederland bekend als de eerste vrouwelijke huisarts. Zij vocht voor de rechten en de gezondheid van vrouwen in een tijd waarin deze onder rechteloosheid, armoede en slechte gezondheid leden. Vanaf het begin van haar loopbaan ontwikkelde zij een groot talent voor de omgang met gezaghebbende kringen, die haar politieke en sociale doelen zouden kunnen steunen. Als overtuigd voorvechtster voor het vrouwenkiesrecht vervulde zij een belangrijke rol in de (inter)nationale beweging. In die kring nam zij in 1914, na het uitbreken van de Eerste Wereldoorlog, het besluit de vrouwenstrijd te verbinden met het verzet tegen de oorlog. De kiesrechtvrouwen konden voor hun congres niet in Berlijn terecht, maar toen dat helemaal afgezegd werd nam zij het voortouw, samen met Rosa Manus en geïnspireerd door Chrystal Macmillan. Zij nodigde alle vrouwen uit naar Den Haag te komen voor een Congres of Women, dat door de Nederlandse afdeling georganiseerd zou worden. ‘In the dreadfull times, in which so much hate has been spread among the different nations, the women have to show that we at least retain our solidarity and that we are able to maintain mutual friendship’. De doelstelling was duidelijk: oproepen tot vrede, met internationale solidariteit en vrouwelijke kracht. Op 28 april 1915 sprak Aletta de openingsrede uit, Jane Addams werd de presidente. Het werd een goed congres. Aletta en Rosa Manus bleven tot 1919 zorgen voor het internationale werk.

Victoria's First Biodynamic Farming Venture (1933-1934)
Dalmore Farm: Victoria’s first biodynamic farming venture (1933-1934) Dr John Paull University of Tasmania [email protected] Dalmore Farm (1933-1934) was Victoria’s first biodynamic farming venture. A letter, written in Milan, Italy, in Italian in 1934 by Rosa Genoni (1867-1954) and recently recovered in a family archive, enables details of this venture to be finally revealed. Rosa Genoni wrote to the Arena family, apparently with the view to encourage their migration to Australia. Rosa wrote of her youngest brother, Ernesto Genoni (1885-1975): “Now Ernesto … is at Dalmore, a farm of my brother Marino (the father of the boy [Alfredo Genoni (1913-1999)] who was sent to us years ago from Australia and we sent him to Dornach where he stayed for two years, and two more to the school at Stuttgart) and in part by my brother Angelo, who asked Ernesto to go and organise the farm biologically” (R. Genoni, 1934, p.1). Note that the term ‘biodynamic’ was unknown to Rudolf Steiner (1865-1925) and was used from 1938 onwards (Paull, 2011). Rosa related that: “Dalmore is a small centre of farmers. It is 40 kilometres from Melbourne. Due to the cost and the impossibility for Ernesto to return promptly from the [Anthroposophy] meetings, his brother Angelo expects to buy a small car soon, or, as they say there, a half truck [ute], which can also be used to transport small foodstuffs, so that going to Melbourne will be easy. In Dalmore there is a cinema, this would mean that there are enough people.

Living in War. Women in Italian His- Toriography (1980-2016)*
Living in War. Women in Italian His- toriography (1980-2016)* by Bruna Bianchi Riassunto: L’avvio delle ricerche sulla società italiana in guerra risale alla fine degli anni Ses- santa, quando la nuova stagione politica e sociale ha condotto a una svolta determinante ed ha orientato la ricerca verso la storia sociale ed economica. L’attenzione alla vita quotidiana, alle trasformazioni sociali, istituzionali e mentali indotte dal conflitto, hanno portato in primo pia- no l’esperienza di vita e di lavoro delle donne. Nella prima parte la rassegna rende brevemen- te conto delle ricerche degli ultimi trent’anni sulle modificazioni del mercato del lavoro, sulle condizioni di vita delle contadine, delle operaie, delle tranviere, delle infermiere, delle mae- stre, donne che per la prima volta ebbero cognizione della loro importanza nella sfera sociale e famigliare. La seconda parte si sofferma sulla attività asistenziale svolta dalle donne della piccola e media borghesia, mentre la parte finale è dedicata ai temi dell’interventismo e del pacifismo. Foreword The subject of women’s experiences during the Great War is still largely unex- plored by Italian historical studies, and has been particularly neglected in recent years during which interest has shifted progressively towards the Second World War. As Simonetta Soldani noted in 2003, making a first evaluation of the studies on women’s history carried out from the end of the 1980s, Except for few inroads on the First World War [the binomial women and war] has had as its center the varied phenomena connected with the Second World War: the deportations and death camps, the civil and armed Resistance, the difficult managing of daily life and the mourning that marked it1.

The Congress created the organization named a few years later The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. INTRODUCTION NEVER BEFORE IN HISTORY have women made history as they are making it today. There have been other feminists in other times. But never has the women's movement moved so extensively and pervasively, —nor has the promise of its impact for change been so compelling. Official recognition of this worldwide phenomenon was given by the United Nations' designation of 1975 as International Women's Year, and its initiation of action projected for the following decade. Its goals, "Equality, Development, Peace" are revolutionary con- cepts. Their attainment implies radical changes in our lives and our institutions. Is our collective consciousness sufficiently raised? Are we pre- pared to change our lifestyles and our thinking as well as the need to break through institutional rigidities? Do we recognize the scale of the opportunity before us? Will society be any different if and when women 6btain equal voice? .
