Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. Massachusetts Branch.
The Women's International Committee for Permanent Peace was organized in April 1915 at the International Congress of Women at The Hague, with Jane Addams as its first International Chairman. In 1919, the name was changed to Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. It has organized protest marches, obtained funds for the relief of the poor in many parts of the world, and organized community action for the repeal of unjust laws and for the passage of disarmament and anti-war bills.
