Jane Addams was a well-respected social reformer and an advocate for poor women and their families, but she was also famous as a pacifist who had long opposed any and all wars. She lived during the first world war and was deeply affected by all the suffering it caused; she did not want to see a second world war. Addams was part of the international peace movement, and joined with other women (and even a few men) in attending conferences to promote cooperation between nations. She lobbied government leaders to try to persuade them to join her cause, and wherever she went, she spent her time advocating strongly for world peace. Her efforts earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.

She also became internationally famous as an advocate for peace and was a founder of the Women's Peace Party and the International League for Peace and Freedom.
