No peace without freedom : race and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, 1915-1975
"Just as women changed the direction and agenda of the peace movement when they became progressively more involved in an all-male club, black women altered acause that had previously lacked racial diversity when they were first granted, in 1915, admission to what would later become the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. As Joyce Blackwell illustrates in this first study of collective black peace activism, the increased presence of black women in WILPF over the next sixty years brought to the movement historical experiences shaped by societal racism."
