Mothers' Movement
Mothers' Movement was an American confederation of anti-World War II, anti-Roosevelt, far right groups. Mothers' Movement consisted of: National Legion of Mothers of America formed by Father Charles Coughlin in 1939; National Blue Star Mothers; Crusading Mothers of America; We, the Mothers; and We, the Mothers, Mobilize for America.
Unlike most other antiwar groups, this alliance did not disperse after the United States entered World War II, but instead became even more vocal. They picketed the United States Capitol, harangued Senators, and went on a speaking tour around the country. These activities continued until the Great Sedition Trial of 1944. At its peak, this movement contained some six million members.〔Glen Jeansonne. Women of the Far Right: The Mother's Movement and World War II. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1996.〕
==History==
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, several groups continued to rally against the United States joining the war. A large number of women opposed the war efforts in order to keep their sons out of combat, leading to the creation of the "Mother's Movements" led by women such as Elizabeth Dilling, Cathrine Curtis, and Lyrl Clark Van Hyning.〔Jeansonne 1996, p. 1.〕 The group was made up of many organizations in different states, including the National League of Mothers of America and "We the Mothers, Mobilize for America".〔Lewis 2008, http://womenshistory.about.com/od/warwwii/a/opponents.htm〕 The movement originated in California and then gradually became a decentralized confederation of 50 to 100 groups that developed on the west coast, midwest, and east coast.〔 The members of these groups were very diverse in age, religion, class, and education, but the leaders were mainly white, middle-aged college-educated Christians from the upper middle-class. The groups published books, pamphlets, and newsletters arguing that the war should be stopped. The members testified before congress, picketed the White House, collected petitions, and participated in political campaigns. The leaders most likely learned their organizing experience from women's clubs, political parties, or movements led by men.〔Jeansonne 1996, pp. 2-3.〕
