I would like to thank Mr. Herbert Hoover for allowing me to express my ideals after press attacks & expulsions from previous groups earlier this year. He has helped me in my mission to help provide relief supplies for nations in whom we have fought against for so long. #NoMoreWar

I am so happy to be donating my share of the #NobelPeacePrize money to the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom! I am so happy to have the chance to draw attention to my efforts to bring women together to preserve Peace! #Peace #WomenCAN #WomenWILL

[Jane Addams @ReformerJaneA]

Can't believe the press thinks women standing against war is "radical" and "irrational". Expelling reformers from their outlet to reform? Now THAT is radical and irrational. I don't stand by groups who think the press' ideals are more important than their people. #StandAgainstWar

Traveling back to Europe and Asia to work as president of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom! #WILPF

Only way to make change is to publicize your views and tell people what's up! #DontTakeNoForAnAnswer #RakeMuckMakeChange
