THE GOOD OLD CAUSE OF WAR & PEACE

LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS was the best selling
novel of the 19th century and made into an anti-war film.

TWO MONTHS before the start of WW1 the first woman Nobel Peace Prize recipient died. Her name was Bertha-Von - Suttner.

 As the 100 year anniversary of the 'war to end all wars' is commemorated I think it so important we learn about the Pacifists who were courageous in their arguments and actions in the build up to the major conflicts hoping/praying they would prevent slaughter of millions.

She is worth getting to know if you are looking for inspiration.
