Historical Note
The Woman’s Peace Party was an American pacifist and feminist organization established in January 1915 in response to World War I. Four months prior their formal establishment, the group organized a silent march known as the “Parade for Peace” in New York City. The parade took place on August 29, 1914. The event was attended by 1,500 women dressed in black or with black arm bands, and included a silent procession down Fifth Avenue behind a white banner bearing a dove. The Parade for Peace marked the first direct action tactic, such as public demonstration, utilized by a peace organization in the United States. It is viewed as the beginning of the modern peace movement.
