Abstract
Despite the silence of histories of the period 1840–1920, women were actively organizing at the international level. Individual women kept in contact with women in other countries about suffrage for women and peace activity, but women also organized international groups to bring about changes in national and international structures. These groups responded to changes in the world around them and challenged the assumptions around gender embedded in that world.
