Peace Activist Berta von Suttner

Peace Activist Berta von Suttner
Berta von Suttner (1843-1914) was the 1905 Nobel Peace Prize winner. In fact, she was a friend of Alfred Nobel, who supported her pacifist activism, and she was likely was an important influence on his establishing a peace prize. She was "one of the most famous women of her time" (Suddeutsche Zeitung) and "the best known Austrian political activist woman at the beginning of the 20th century." (Anton Pelinka) Von Suttner founded the Austrian Society of Friends of Peace (1891) and the German Peace Society (1892). She wrote an influential antiwar novel Lay Down Your Arms! (1889), which by 1905 had gone through 37 editions. She edited an antiwar journal by the same name that began publication in 1892. She rightly feared that a world war would occur. She was also active for women's rights and vegetarianism. Von Suttner died a few days before Archduke Franz Ferdinand's fatal encounter with Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo.
