- Bertha von Suttner: The Woman Who Tried to Stop WWI
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.
Long before the First World War devastated Europe, one woman dedicated her life to preventing it. In this episode of Women in History, we explore the remarkable story of Bertha von Suttner, an Austrian novelist, pioneering peace activist, and the first woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Discover how her bestselling book, her friendship with Alfred Nobel, and her tireless campaign for diplomacy made her one of the most influential voices for peace in the modern era and and why her extraordinary legacy deserves to be remembered.
