Women, Peace, Pacifism, Philantropy and the The Hague Peace Palace

Rosa Manus (1881-supp. 1942) was in 1935 one of the founding mothers of the International Archive for the Women’s Movement (IAV), currently: Atria. She devoted her live not only to the women’s rights to vote, but also to women and pacifism. In 1915 for instance, she co-organised, together with Aletta Jacobs, the International Congress of Women in The Hague, a world congress where women from all over the world gathered to lobby for women, peace and pacifism.

During this congress an organisation was founded, which is called WILPF since 1919, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. The Atria collection contains the archival material of the Dutch division of WILPF and of course archival material of Rosa Manus, and much more interesting archival material on women who have been active for world peace in the years 1910-1940.
