| Abstract |
Hannah Clothier Hull was one of the founders of the Woman's Peace Party and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, serving as their national officer for nearly forty years. She was active in a number of other social reform movements, including women's suffrage, women's rights and temperance. The collection features correspondence, both personal and professional, articles and manuscript notes, alongside biographical material such as family papers and photographs. A large part of the material focuses on Hull's work in the peace movement, including correspondence with other Women's International League for Peace and Freedom members, financial statements, press releases and documents of the League. Her interest in women's rights is represented by items on women's suffrage, correspondence on WILPF relations with the National Council of Women in the United States, and material on women's movements in China and India. Among the many correspondents in this collection are Jane Addams, Emily Greene Balch, Carrie Chapman Catt, Alice Hamilton, Lida Gustava Heymann, Lola Maverick Lloyd, Lucia Ames Mead, Jeannette Rankin, Rosika Schwimmer, Anna Garlin Spencer, Ellen Gates Starr, and Mary E. Woolley. |
