Abstract
Between the 28th of April and the 1st of May 1915, the «International Congress of Women» took place in Den Haag, NL. Women activists from twelve neutral and belligerent states protested war, founded a women’s peace league, produced 20 peace resolutions and presented them to their nation’s leaders. Among those actively engaged were also two Austrians: Leopoldine Kulka and Olga Misař. This article examines the ways in which these female peace activists were able to access different levels of the public sphere and spread their message as well as providing an analysis of their self-historicisation in the face of societal disapproval.
