The ultimate success of the movement to stop the war in Vietnam was due to the mobilization of multiple segments of society, such as students, academics, businesspeople, lawyers, religious activists, unions, veterans, and humanitarians. Not least of these were traditional women’s peace organizations such as the Womens International League for Peace and Freedom and Women Strike for Peace that redirected their efforts toward stopping the war, and newer Vietnam War specific groups such as Another Mother for Peace and Gold Star Mothers for Peace. This webinar features the experiences of women peace activists who helped to transform the movement into a broad coalition that reached into a majority of American households and influenced the movement for women’s liberation.
