The article investigates the backlash against Jane Addams's work for peace, particularly around the formation of the Woman's Peace Party in the United States and the Women's Internationa! League for Peace and Freedom in 1915. Using the notion of "containment" as a methodological tool for guiding analysis, the article explores the transformation of Addams's reputation from well-respected social advocate to "the most dangerous woman in America." Spedflcally, by examining the intersection of Addams's worldview, the rhetorical choices she made in advocating for paciflsm, and the public response as characterized by the New York Times' accounts of her work, the analysis demonstrates how gender played an important role in determining Addams's ability to effectively advocate for a nonmainstream (padflst) view of the conflict in Europe.
