Bookplate Of Julia M. Fairbanks On Front Pastedowns; Her Very Small Blindstamp On Front Free Endpapers, Otherwise Clean And Unmarked. Per Wikipedia, Baroness Bertha Sophie Felicitas Von Suttner (1843 - 1914) Was A Bohemian Noblewoman, Pacifist And Novelist. In 1905, She Became The Second Female Nobel Laureate (After Marie Curie In 1903),[2] The First Woman To Be Awarded The Nobel Peace Prize, And The First Austrian And Czech Laureate. Her Parents Were The Austrian Lieutenant General (German: Feldmarschall-Leutnant) Franz Michael De Paula Josef Graf Kinsky Von Wchinitz Und Tettau (1769-1843), Who Died At The Age Of 75 Before Bertha Was Born. Soon After Bertha's Birth, Her Mother Moved To Live In Brno Near Bertha's Guardian, Landgrave Friedrich Michael Zu Fürstenberg-Taikowitz (1793-1866). In 1876, With The Encouragement Of Her Employers, She Answered A Newspaper Advertisement Which Led To Her Briefly Becoming Secretary And Housekeeper To Alfred Nobel In Paris.[20] In The Few Weeks Of Her Employment, She And Nobel Developed A Friendship, And Nobel May Have Made Romantic Overtures. However, She Returned Shortly To Vienna To Marry Arthur Von Suttner In Secretly. As A Consequence Arthur Von Suttner Was Desinherited By His Family And Lost The Title Of Freiherr. In 1889, Suttner Became A Leading Figure In The Peace Movement With The Publication Of Her Pacifist Novel, Die Waffen Nieder! (Lay Down Your Arms!), Which Made Her One Of The Leading Figures Of The Austrian Peace Movement. She Became Known Internationally As The Editor Of The International Pacifist Journal Die Waffen Nieder!, Named After Her Book, From 1892 To 1899. In 1897, She Presented Emperor Franz Joseph I Of Austria With A List Of Signatures Urging The Establishment Of An International Court Of Justice And Took Part In The First Hague Convention In 1899 With The Help Of Theodor Herzl, Who Paid For Her Trip As A Correspondent Of The Zionist Newspaper, Die Welt.Upon Her Husband's Death In 1902, Suttner Had To Sell Harmannsdorf Castle And Moved Back To Vienna. In 1904 She Addressed The International Congress Of Women In Berlin And For Seven Months Travelled Around The United States, Attending A Universal Peace Congress In Boston And Meeting President Theodore Roosevelt. Though Her Personal Contact With Alfred Nobel Had Been Brief, She Corresponded With Him Until His Death In 1896, And It Is Believed That Von Suttner Was A Major Influence On His Decision To Include A Peace Prize Among Those Prizes Provided In His Will.[33] Bertha Von Suttner Was Awarded The Nobel Peace Prize On 10 December 1905. In 1907, Von Suttner Was The Only Woman To Attend The Second Hague Peace Conference, Which Mainly Pertained To The Law Of War. Von Suttner Was Actually Highly Critical Of The 1907 Conference And Warned Of A War To Come. When She Accepted Her Nobel Peace Prize A Year Earlier, She Had Said: "(…) Whether Our Europe Will Become A Showpiece Of Ruins And Failure, Or Whether We Can Avoid This Danger And So Enter Sooner The Coming Era Of Secure Peace And Law In Which A Civilisation Of Unimagined Glory Will Develop. The Many Aspects Of This Question Are What The Second Hague Conference Should Be Discussing Rather Than The Proposed Topics Concerning The Laws And Practices Of War At Sea, The Bombardment Of Ports, Towns, And Villages, The Laying Of Mines, And So On. The Contents Of This Agenda Demonstrate That, Although The Supporters Of The Existing Structure Of Society, Which Accepts War, Come To A Peace Conference Prepared To Modify The Nature Of War, They Are Basically Trying To Keep The Present System Intact". In The Run-Up To World War I, Suttner Continued To Campaign Against International Armament. In 1911 She Became A Member Of The Advisory Council Of The Carnegie Peace Foundation.
