• catalog description "The National Committee on the Cause and Cure of War began in 1925 with a Conference on the Cause and Cure of War, called by Carrie Chapman Catt and representatives of nine women’s organizations after the American rejection of the League of Nations. Calling for peace and disarmament, the Committee met annually until 1939; Catt served as chair until 1932, and as honorary chair thereafter. Members wrote letters to members of Congress, gave lectures, and organized petitions, study groups, and round-table discussion groups known as "Marathon Round Tables." The National Committee on the Cause and Cure of War also sponsored state, regional, and annual national conferences. The organization's focus was on education and promoting legislative methods of preventing war, particularly the World Court, the Kellogg-Briand Pact, and disarmament treaties. In 1943, the National Committee on the Cause and Cure of War changed its name to the Women's Action Committee for Victory and Lasting Peace, which after World War II became the Women's Action Committee for Lasting Peace. The goal of the new organization was to "To unite American women to work for full participation by the United States in the United Nations in order to build a world of peace and justice under law." Carrie Chapman Catt died in 1947, and the Women's Action Committee dissolved in 1949.".
