Abstract
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 complete history of the women's peace movement—one that recognizes dissension as well as consensus.
