Jane Addams. Patriotism and Pacifists in War Time. Reprinted from City Club Bulletin, Chicago, IL, 1917. Print of a speech Jane Addams gave on May 15, 1917 at the City Club in Chicago. 4 pages, double-sided. 7"x10". Addams' outspoken pacifism during the First World War, demonstrated in this speech, nearly destroyed her reputation, which was initially based on the domestic social work she did in Chicago with the Hull House. She would later be recognized for her work toward peace in 1931, when she became the second woman to ever win the Nobel Peace Prize. Addams argues in this speech that "the position of the pacifist in time of war is most difficult, and necessarily he must abandon the perfectly legitimate propaganda he maintained before war was declared. When he, with his fellow countrymen, is caught up by a wave of tremendous enthusiasm and is carried out into a high sea of patriotic feeling, he realizes that the virtues which he extols are brought into unhappy contrast to those which war, with its keen sense of a separate national existence, places in the foreground." Very good condition, some folds and tears, tape on two pages holding tear together, but all text remains unaffected and legible. At the time that this description is being written, no copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time.
