Recording made by the Minnesota Branch of the Women's |
|
International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) of |
|
Maud C. Stockwell reading a speech she had given at the |
|
1954 Jane Addams Tea. Stockwell recalls Jane Addams' life |
|
and work. Her main passions were her settlement work at |
|
Hull House and working for world peace through WILPF. |
|
Stockwell speaks of the founding of Hull House. She |
|
recalls her dinner at Addams' home during WILPF's 1923 |
|
National Board Meeting in Chicago. At the 1926 Dublin |
|
Congress she was invited by Addams on a day trip to the |
|
countryside. She recalls Addams' tactfulness and how |
|
necessary that skill was during international congresses |
|
where language barriers could lead to misunderstandings. |
|
In 1915, Addams was recruited by Dr. Aletta Jacobs to |
|
attend the International Congress of Women in the Hague |
|
where Addams was voted the President of the new |
|
International Committee of Women for Permanent Peace. In |
|
1919 at the Zurich Conference, WILPF was officially |
|
created and it's headquarters were established in Geneva. |
|
Stockwell goes on to recall how the Minnesota Branch |
|
joined WILPF. |
