| Title | Typescript of Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury's contribution to the Bulletin of the International Council of Women |
| Level | Item |
| Date | [n.d. post June 1914] |
| Description | Following her appointment as the Convenor of the Peace and Arbitration Committee of the International Council of Women in 1914, Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury contributed this article to an edition of the Council's bulletin focussing on the issue of disarmament. Taylor Cadbury's paper examines 'the moral considerations underlying the whole problem of armaments'. She suggests that 'the women of the world' viewed disarmament not as a technical or economic issue, but as 'the objective of a crusade based on deeper sentiment and stimulated by a conviction that war and armament are relics of a barbaric past which the enlightened conscience of the world cannot and will not tolerate'.
Taylor Cadbury's paper provides an overview of a recent unofficial conference on disarmament which she had attended in Paris, describing the views which had been expressed by different international speakers and summarising debate concerning the issue of disarmament. She concludes her paper by referring to the prominence of women at this conference who were closely involved in 'the work of organising public opinion' on disarmament. |
