Addams, born in 1860, was the Chairman of the Women's
Peace Party in the United States. In 1915, she presided
over the first Women's International League (WIL), which
was formed to protest against World War I. Elected as
the International President of WIL, she continued in that
capacity until her death in 1935. Addams started the Hull
House in Chicago, Illinois, which continues as a museum
today.
