Heroines of Peace The Nine Nobel Women By Irwin Abrams Antioch University First published September 22, 1997 [To the Norwegian Nobel Institute] The Nobel Peace Prizes at their best set before us an array of great human spirits. The nine women Prizewinners clearly belong in this list. They come from a variety of backgrounds and represent a variety of forms of peace making. The earliest of these heroines of peace was the Austrian baroness who inspired the Prize, while the most recent was the Indian from Guatemala who rose to leadership overcoming poverty and oppression. They include the woman regarded as the greatest of her generation in the United States; the scholar and reformer who was the acknowledged intellectual leader of the American peace movement; two Northern Irish advocates of nonviolence who made a dramatic effort to resolve the longstanding violent conflict in their land; a saintly missionary working in the slums of Calcutta; a Swedish social reformer who became a cabinet minister and ambassador; and a Burmese intellectual who led the opposition to a brutal military dictatorship. They were not only of different nationalities and different classes, but of different faiths; among them were Catholics and freethinkers, a Buddhist and a Quaker. They worked against war in peace societies and in political life, as humanitarians and defenders of human rights. This small group of nine Laureates represents the diverse paths to peace which the Norwegian Nobel committees have recognized over the years. But they are most interesting in themselves; each has a fascinating story to tell.

5. Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Mairead Corrigan Biography of nobel Peace Prize laureate mairead corrigan Maguire by John Dearat the Peace People website. Curriculum for peace from the Peace Jam website. http://www.peaceheroes.com/PeaceHeroes/maireadcorrigan.htm

Mairead Corrigan Maguire "Everyday there are people in our world that do absolutely amazing things. People of all ages are very capable of doing tremendous, courageous things in spite of their fear." A description of Mairead Corrigan Maguire written by Joan Baez: "The breath of God ran through her like a fair summer breeze. She was a smile. She was a prayer. She was endlessly brave, going into the streets and homes of the "the enemy" unarmed and with cheerful countenance. No evil could envelop her or even touch her. I'm sure she is all those things still. She will hate to read this, because she is also self-effacing, like some other saints. God bless you, Mairead Corrigan. And God bless the brave women of Ireland who, for a brief but exceptional moment in time, waged mass nonviolent warfare in one of the most violent countries in the world." (excerpted from Baez' autobiography, And A Voice To Sing With) In 1976, Mairead Corrigan and Betty Williams and a journalist called Ciaran McKeown organized a series of peace marches in Northern Ireland after three children of Corrigan's sister Anne were killed by a gunman's getaway car. Tens of thousands turned out. Catholics and Protestants marched together.

The Peace People Corrigan’s Iraq peace plea By Irish News Staff reporter MAIREAD Corrigan Maguire yesterday urged Prime Minister Tony Blair and President Bill Clinton to stop bombing Iraq and allow the lifting of United Nations sanctions. The Nobel peace prize winner made her plea in Baghdad where, with the New York-based international peace activist group Fellowship of Reconciliation, she visited schools and hospitals, including a cancer ward to see the effects of the economic sanctions imposed in 1990 to punish Iraq for invading Kuwait. The United States and Britain oppose the lifting of the sanctions, saying President Saddam Hussein’s government remains a threat to his neighbours and to his own people. Meanwhile, Iraq says, shortages of medicines and nutritious food because of the sanctions have killed tens of thousands of children. I have seen children dying with their mothers next to them and not being able to do anything,said Ms Corrigan Maguire. They are not soldiers. Mairead Corrigan Maguire who shared the 1976 Nobel peace prize for her efforts to end the violence in Northern Ireland has long campaigned against using military force against Iraq. This is genocide. Children are dying slowly and painfully, said another peace prize laureate, Adolfo Perez-Esquivel of Argentina.

The Peace People Máiread Corrigan Maguire by John Dear, S.J. "If we want to reap the harvest of peace and justice in the future, we will have to sow seeds of nonviolence, here and now, in the present." Along the busy Lisburn Road in war-ravaged Belfast, Northern Ireland, stands a wee house dedicated to peace. A bright yellow banner hangs outside the second-floor window: "Campaign for a Gun-Free Northern Ireland." Inside, ordinary women and men, young and old, believers from all faiths and nonbelievers, carry on a steady, persistent witness for peace and justice. Pictures of peacemakers and heroes, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Gandhi, and Aung San Suu Kyi (the Nobel Peace Prize winner from Burma), line the house walls, an ever-present "cloud of witnesses" watching over their shoulders. One picture in particular catches my attention. Above the mantelpiece in the spacious front room hangs a large picture from a 1976 Belfast demonstration featuring thousands of women with banners calling for an end to violence and a new day of peace for Northern Ireland. While living and working in Northern Ireland in 1997-98, I used to visit Peace House and look in amazement at that picture. Belfast, 1976! The height of "The Troubles." From 1969 to 1998, over thirty-four hundred people were killed in a brutal war stemming from British colonial interests, revolutionary republicanism, and age-old, oppressive religious bigotry and fanaticism. But after a year of tumultuous political negotiations, a breakthrough settlement was reached on Good Friday 1998, bringing Northern Ireland to the Easter dawn of peace. Suddenly, what was once deemed unimaginable, unthinkable, indeed impossible, is now indeed possible and probable. A new future stands on the horizon of Ireland -a vision of peace.

home current issue past stories about The Prism ... other sites Mairead Corrigan Inspires Struggle, Hope for Irish Peace by Kathy Worboys T he airport was crowded on the humid mid-August day and crammed tight with freckled, fair-skinned children, burnt and peeling from weeks in the sun. Wall-to-wall people left little room for movement, hardly enough for breathing. We had been in this same position exactly six weeks earlier, though that had been a happier time. It had been a day of anticipation and excitement, a day when a young girl stepped off an airplane and entered a brand new world. She had arrived to cheers and greetings from a family she had never seen, and was now preparing to depart, amidst tears and prayers and promises, from a family she had learned to call her own. The program that brought Joan to us is called Project Children. It is a program which gives people like Joan Rooney a chance to see the world as it should be, and which gives people like me the chance to see the world as it can be. We cried that day at the airport. We promised to write, and to include her in our prayers. We watched the plane taxi down the runway, and then we went home: home to our backyard pool and our white picket fence, home, where we could lock the doors, and retreat into safety. Later that night, I turned on the news and came face-to-face with a close-up of Joan, crying, as she returned to her own family. I cried with her that day, for all of them. While we sat, safe and secure in front of our television, they were re-entering a world of dirt and grime and guns, and anything but safety. Yet through it all we were left with the hope that people like Joan would strive for a time when they could fulfill the prophecies of a card she left for us. It read, "You helped us experience the meaning of peace, true brotherly love, and life without fear. You helped us become the hope for a future peace in Northern Ireland."

Betty Williams 1976 Nobel Peace Laureate Nobel website World Centers of Compassion for Children Transcript of Betty Williams' Conference Speech Discussion ... RealVideo of Ms. Williams' Speech Sometimes a Nobel Peace Laureate is created in an instant. Such is the case with Betty Williams, a native of Belfast, Ireland, whose intuitive, immediate response to a senseless act of violence created the Northern Ireland Peace Movement. Herself a mother of two, the 34-year-old Williams was overwhelmed by a passionate desire to take a stand against the violence that precipitated nightmares like the one before her. As soon as she could leave the accident site, she acted on her instincts and began canvassing her neighbors. Within two days she had collected 6,000 signatures on a petition that demanded peace and a stop to the violence. Despite fear of reprisals against her by Ireland’s warring factions, she appealed to Ireland’s women–both Catholic and Protestant–to work with her to rid their community of "this riffraff" in a local television broadcast. Following World War I, pro-independence guerilla groups, such as the IRA, wore down British resolve. In 1922, England established by treaty the Irish Free State, a 26-county area in the south of Ireland whose population is predominately Catholic. Exclu ded from this treaty were six counties in Northern Ireland, which contained a Protestant majority. While the treaty was a step in the direction of Irish independence, it gave England continuing control over a large area of the country indefinitely. The IR A and Sinn Fein, another pro-independence organization, repudiated the treaty.
