Kvinnor mot krig : aktioner och nätverk för fred 1914–1940
(2001) In Studia historica Lundensia- Abstract
- The aim of this dissertation is to investigate how and why women established peace actions during World War I and the period between the wars. I have examined how women were mobilized, how the actions were carried out, what kind of opposition was awakened, and what happened afterwards. My startingpoint is collective actions based on individual standpoints and temporary mobilizations. Organizations are included only as recruiting networks for mobilizations. The following actions are included in the study: Women´s Peace Sunday (1915), which gathered about 88,000 women to meetings in 343 locations across Sweden; Women´s unarmed revolt against war (1935), where approximately 20,000 women participated in protests against a possible chemical war...

As policies of peace, these actions were not unique for their times. The manner in which they were formulated was not special, but their content was. The mobilizing message, which can be described as feministic anti-militarism, was based on the civil rights of women, the political and military isolation of women, mother´s right to say no to violence, and the support of an international female public opinion.

Kvinnor mot krig. Aktioner och nätverk för fred 1914-1940. Syftet med avhandlingen är att undersöka varför och på vilket sätt kvinnor skapade fredsaktioner under första världskriget och mellankrigstiden. Jag har studerat hur kvinnor mobiliserades, hur aktionerna genomfördes, vilket motstånd som väcktes och vad som hände efteråt. Utgångspunkten är kollektiva aktioner, som byggde på enskilda ställningstaganden och tillfälliga mobiliseringar. Organisationer finns endast med som rekryteringsnätverk för mobiliseringen. Följande aktioner ingår i studien: Kvinnornas fredssöndag 1915, som samlade cirka 88 000 kvinnor till möten på 343 platser i Sverige. Kvinnornas vapenlösa uppror mot kriget 1935, där...

Följande aktioner ingår i studien: Kvinnornas fredssöndag 1915, som samlade cirka 88 000 kvinnor till möten på 343 platser i Sverige. Kvinnornas vapenlösa uppror mot kriget 1935, där ungefär 20 000 deltagande kvinnor protesterade mot ett eventuellt gaskrig och ett krigssystem där det överhuvudtaget behövdes ett civilförsvar. Slutligen nya aktionsplaner 1937 och 1938, i samband med luftskyddslagar, och samlingar 1939 och 1940 vid andra världskrigets utbrott. Som fredspolitik var aktionerna inte unika i sin tid. Utformingen var inte heller speciell, det var däremot aktionernas innehåll. Det mobiliserande budskapet, som kan betecknas som feministisk antimilitarism, byggde på kvinnors medborgerliga rättigheter, kvinnors politiska och militära utanförskap, mödrars rätt att säga nej till våld och stöd av en internationell kvinnoopinion.
