Like many educated women of her time, she strongly opposed war, and became actively involved with the peace movement. She had lived through the first world war, and as a pacifist, she knew she did not want to see a second world war. She was a social reformer, known for her work trying to improve the lives of poor women and children, and when she was not advocating for them, she was advocating for world peace, along with a number of other famous women (and a few famous men). She believed that money spent on war and weapons would be better spent fighting poverty and improving the lives of families. Her efforts earned her a Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.
