Bio: (1867-1961) American sociologist, economist, political scientist, and pacifist. Emily Green Balch has taught at Wellesley College since 1897. During the research for her book Our Slavic Fellow Citizens (1910), she stayed in several cities, in the neighborhoods where Slavs lived, and traveled around Eastern Europe to get to know the Slavic countries firsthand. She was the leader of the women's peace movement during and after the First World War, which is why she lost her professorship at Wesley College. She was among the founders of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946.
