Abstract

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 International 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." Specifically, by examining the intersection of Addams's worldview, the rhetorical choices she made in advocating for pacifism, 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 (pacifist) view of the conflict in Europe.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
