Original contemporary card laid in advertising the book with a review by S. Parkes Cadman "A reliable book for preachers preparing addresses on the Woman Question" Florence Guertin Tuttle (1869-1951) was born in Brooklyn, NY; and as a young woman attended the Avitas Club, one of the first women only clubs, where she was exposed to speakers such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman ( prominent American humanist, and a lecturer for social reform). Was involved in the women's suffrage movement, the birth control rights movement (with Margaret Sanger), and a member of the World Peace Party (with Jane Addams), in the early 1900's. During WWI, she became a strong advocate of internationalism; became Chair of the Women's Pro-League Council, 1920; attended meetings of the Council of the League of Nations in Geneva (where she befriended such people as First Lady Edith Bolling Wilson and Carrie Chapman Catt); and became Executive Chairman of the Greater New York Branch of the League of Nations Non-Partisan Association in 1924. Wrote several books, articles and leaflets on world peace, the economic causes of war, world cooperation, and women's rights. She was in great demand as a speaker on peace and internationalism.
