National Library of Wales. The Welsh Women’s Peace Appeal Centenary Campaign
In 1923 the women of Wales organised a campaign for world peace. A total of 390,296 women signed a peace petition which was presented to the women of America and was then preserved at the National Museum of American History, Washington DC. Now, 100 years later the Petition has returned to Wales, and is being catalogued, digitised and exhibited at the National Library of Wales.
