Women Nobel Peace Prize Winners 2d ed.

<p> From the first woman Nobel Peace Prize recipient Bertha von Suttner (1905) to the latest and youngest female Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai (2014) this book in its second edition provides a detailed look at the lives and accomplishments of each of these sixteen Prize winners. They did not expect recognition or fame for their work--economist Emily Greene Balch (1946) was surprised to learn that anyone knew about her. But they did not work in isolation: all met with discouragement derision threats or--in Yousafazi's case--attempted murder and exile. A history of the Prize and a biographical sketch of Alfred Nobel are included.</p>
