This article focuses on the 1915 Women's International Peace Conference at The Hague, Netherlands, a hallmark of constructive diplomacy, where the participants drafted conditions for peace that remain revolutionary to this day. This article also describes the efforts of the Women's Peace Party in the United States and of two women deeply involved in the peace movement, Jane Addams and Emily Greene Baich. In the early 20th century, women took courageous stands in working for peace. Jane Addams and Emily Greene Baich, both active in the settlement house movement, played instrumental roles in opposing World War I. Their fierce commitment to mediation in settling international conflicts despite negative public opinion holds lessons for social workers today. Both women formed organizations, some of which continue to play central roles in the social work profession today. Women were ideally suited to become the major force behind the peace movement because an international movement was already well organized on behalf of suffrage. Today social workers can still feel these women's power and hear echoes of their voices offering hope.
