Selecting five women to honor at The Hague was a daunting task. However, after deliberations and voting concluded in December, the five US women to be honored at the anniversary celebration are Jane Addams, Emily Greene Balch, Elise Boulding, Dorothy Detzer and Kay Camp.
Because so many US women have been contributors to both international and domestic peace building, five additional US women are under consideration to be honored in April. They are Mildred Scott Olmstead, Peg Mullen, Ava Helen Pauling, Grace DeGraff and Annette Jacobi Roberts
