STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MISSOURI RESEARCH CENTER-ST. LOUIS
UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-ST. LOUIS
Yvonne Logan, president of the St. Louis branch of the WLPF donated some of her papers, correspondence and other items from both the national and local organizations.
The International Women's League for Peace and Freedom was founded in 1915 by Jane Addams, its first president. Its purpose from the beginning has been to work for the achievement, by peaceful means, of the political, economic, social and psychological conditions througout the world which can assure peace and freedom.
The collection includes correspondence, position papers, reports and monthly bulletins from the especially active decade of the nineteen sixties when WILPF strongly opposed United States intervention in Vietnam. WILPF operated a peace center which provided a focus for St. Louis anti-war activities and counseling for draft resisters.
