"Peace is Too Small a Word"
During her life, Emily Greene Balch (1867-1961) was a well-known academic and a leading figure in several movements for social reform, yet she remains little discussed figure in American history. She helped to found Boston's first settlement house. One of America's first economists and sociologists, she later became a professor and then dean at Wellesley College. During her tenure at that prestigious institution, she remained a widely published scholar on American immigration. In her middle age, she became an international peace leader. Her work with the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom led to a Nobel Peace Prize in 1946. Despite her varied and impressive career, no scholarly biography of her life existed until now. This work examines the life of Emily Greene Balch, filling a void in the scholarship on this important American. It details Balch's journey through her various career choices in order to determine what influenced her decisions and how her choices altered her life and her communities. In the process, it highlights the evolution of Balch's ideas and places her in the context of women internationalists in the early twentieth century.--Author's abstract.
