EMILY GREENE BALCH: THE FIRST QUAKER NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER By Irwin Abrams This essay appeared in the December 1996 issue of Friends Journal As Friends begin to think about how to commemorate in 1997 the 50th anniversary of the Nobel Peace Prize that was shared by the AFSC and the British Friends Service Council in 1947, it is well to be reminded that 1996 is the 50th anniversary of the prize which the Quaker Emily Greene Balch, the leader of the Womens's International League for Peace and Freedom, shared with John Mott of the YMCA in 1946. She was only the third woman to win the prize, after Baroness Bertha von Suttner in 1901 and Jane Addams in 1931. Emily Balch (1867-1961), raised as a Unitarian, joined Friends in 1920 when she was in Geneva establishing the international headquarters of the WILPF. She applied to London Yearly Meeting, preferring to avoid the divisions of American Quakerism. What attracted her to Friends was not only "their testimony against war, their creedless faith, nor their openness to suggestions for far-reaching social reform," It was "the dynamic force of the active love through which their religion was expressing itself in multifarious ways, both during and after the war." When she returned to live in Wellesley in her last years, she transferred her membership to Cambridge (Massachusetts) Meeting. In 1915 Emily Balch was already a distinguished social scientist when she joined Jane Addams and the intrepid international band of women who vainly attempted to stop World War I by persuading statesmen of both neutral and belligerent states to agree to a mediation process.. She then tried to prevent American intervention in the conflict and continued her opposition after the United States entered the war. This brought about her dismissal from Wellesley College, ending a teaching career of twenty years. She continued to work for peace for the rest of her life, both through WILPF and individually, She was granted the Nobel prize as the acknowledged dean and intellectual leader of the United States peace movement.

Emily Greene Balch Pioneering Peacemaker (1867-1961) by Margery Post Abbo t FRIENDS JOURNAL June Emily Greene Balch, along with her friend and inspiration, Jane Addams, was one of two women with Quaker connections to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Both were part of the large group of women advocates for peace during the first half of the 2Oth century who formed Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), one of the most enduring peace organizations of our time. Balch's life is an inspiring expression of the interconnections between economic justice and peace. She also offers us a glimpse of her struggle with her pacifist position in light of the Second World War. Balch is not widely known in Quaker circles, as she joined London Yearly Meeting in midlife while she was living in Geneva. Raised in a well-off Boston family with Unitarian leanings, she had been introduced to Friends at Bryn Mawr College, where she was a member of its first graduating class. Much later, she realized her match with Quakerism during a period when she was working for WILPF and lobbying the newly formed League of Nations. Balch was deeply inspired by the settlement house work of Jane Addams. Her resolve to base academic theory on first-hand knowledge led to her work with poor Italian children in Boston as she prepared a handbook on laws and institutions related to juvenile delinquency. She helped start Denison House in Boston in 1892 and became the first head worker at this early settlement house. In 1894 she joined the American Federation of Labor as she became involved in the plight of women working in the tobacco industry and as telephone operators.

looking back Contents: March/April 2002 The intellectual leader of the women's peace movement Emily Greene Balch was born to a prosperous Unitarian family in 1867. She grew up in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, where her Unitarian minister, the Rev. Charles Fletcher Dole, profoundly influenced her. "His warm faith in the force that makes for righteousness became the chief of all the influences that played upon my life," she wrote. "He asked us to enlist in the service of goodness whatever its cost. In accepting this pledge, I never abandoned in any degree my desire to live up to it." She was a member of Bryn Mawr's first graduating class in 1889, and joined the emerging female social reform movement in Boston. She helped found a settlement house for immigrants in 1892 and began a lifelong friendship and working relationship with Jane Addams, who had founded Hull House in Chicago in 1889. After graduate studies, Balch began teaching economics at Wellesley College in 1900. Her research into the conditions of Slavs in Austria-Hungary and in U.S. immigrant neighborhoods resulted in her major work, Our Slavic Fellow Citizens (1910), which countered widespread anti-immigrant views in the U.S. She was chair of Wellesley's Department of Economics and Sociology when college trustees voted not to renew her contract in 1918 due to her peace work during World War I.

Document 12: Emily Greene Balch to Mrs. I.E. Evans, 18 February 1927, Swarthmore College Peace Collection, Jane Addams Papers, Series 1 (Jane Addams Papers Microfilm, reel 18, #1304-1305). Introduction In her reply to Mrs. Evans and the DAR dossier, Emily Greene Balch sought to vindicate Jane Addams by refuting the claims that Addams had any socialist leanings. She also suggested that Addams was one of the most respected persons in America. Balch employed a tactic used often to defend WILPF activities against right-wing attacksclaiming support from both liberals and conservatives. She went one step further here, quoting President Calvin Coolidge's praise for Addams' peace work. February 18, 1927 Dear Mrs. Evans, As I am with Miss Addams at the moment and she is overwhelmed with a large correspondence before leaving for a much needed rest in the South. She is allowing me to answer for her your kind letter just received. Miss Addams needs no vindication with any reasonably well-informed people but misrepresentations are curiously prone to burrow here and there under the surface and to occasionally appear in the open air where there is no one prepared to disprove them.
