Women of Peace and Preparedness
Dr. Lisa Mastrangelo will speak at Morristown and Morris Township Library, on Sunday, March 11th at 2 p.m. in the library’s lower level meeting room, about the role American women played on the home front during World War I. American women were active in two different movements: the peace movement and the preparedness movement. Throughout both of these movements, women were labeled as “maternal” and “protective.” This presentation details the two movements, as well as the language of motherhood that was used for, by, and against the women as they fought for their causes.
