ABSTRACT The history of women’s engagement in the interwar peace movement has focused primarily on feminist pacifists, individuals who participated in both the women’s suffrage movement and the peace movement. Much less attention has been given to the peace activism of voluntary women’s groups that did not self-identify as feminist but which were equally committed to preserving peace. This analysis explores the contribution of three women’s organisations – the National Council of Women, the Women’s Institutes, and the Young Women’s Christian Association – to the interwar peace movement. Their involvement not only reveals the extent of their anti-war activism but calls into question long-held assumptions about what motivated women to engage in the campaign for peace. This re-evaluation provides new insights into the varied reasons why women wanted peace and challenges the belief that anti-war activism weakened the women’s movement during the interwar years.

妇女组织、积极的公民权与和平运动：1918-1939 年英国女性激进主义的新视角

摘要 妇女参与两次世界大战之间和平运动的历史主要集中在女权主义和平主义者身上，她们同时参与了妇女选举权运动和和平运动。对不自称为女权主义者但同样致力于维护和平的志愿妇女团体的和平活动给予的关注要少得多。该分析探讨了三个妇女组织——全国妇女委员会、妇女协会和基督教女青年会——对两次世界大战之间的和平运动的贡献。他们的参与不仅揭示了他们反战激进主义的程度，而且对长期以来关于是什么促使妇女参与和平运动的假设提出了质疑。
