Balch, Emily Greene

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Balch, Emily Greene (1867–1961)

US pacifist, social reformer, and economist. Whilst teaching at Wellesley College (1896–1918), Balch took an active role in labour disputes and other social issues. As the impact of World War I spread, she took an pacifist stance and was consequently fired from Wellesley for her dissension. Balch went on to embrace Quakerism. A founder of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in 1919, she shared the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1946 with John R Mott for her leadership of the women's movement for peace.
