WSP

The Women’s Strike for Peace (WSP) was a prominent movement that mobilized women across the United States to protest the Vietnam War and advocate for disarmament. The group was formed in response to the U.S. government’s involvement in Vietnam and its nuclear weapons testing. WSP organized large demonstrations, including a notable national strike in 1961, and lobbied government officials to adopt peaceful foreign policies. The organization played a key role in shifting public opinion about the war and contributed to broader peace and civil rights movements, highlighting women’s voices in political activism.
