Anarchists for Peace: Olga Misař, Pierre Ramus and the Austrian section of the War Resisters’ International

Authors

  • Brigitte Rath

Abstract

Brigitte Rath reconstructs the intertwined biographies of Pierre Ramus (1876–1950) and Olga Misař (1876–1950), two leading figures of Austrian anarchist pacifism during the first half of the twentieth century and situates them within the broader history of the War Resisters’ International. Rath, using gender as an analytical category, highlights how both activists, though united in their rejection of militarism and advocacy of conscientious objection, differed in style, emphasis, and political strategies.
