Universal Peace—from a Woman's Standpoint

Universal Peace—from a Woman's Standpoint, written by Bertha von Suttner and first published in 1978, is a philosophical treatise advocating for universal peace and the role of women in the peace movement. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century militarization in Europe, von Suttner critiques the glorification of war and emphasizes that true progress requires women's active participation in peace discourse. She discusses the significance of the Hague Peace Conferences and envisions a future where justice is achieved through arbitration rather than conflict, urging a collective moral awakening to reject war's horrors.
