BOOK / BUILDING PEACE

ESSAY

This volume collects the speeches of all the women awarded the Nobel Peace Prize between 1906 and 2021, from Baroness Bertha von Suttner to journalist María Ressa (with the exceptions of Jane Addams and Mairead Corrigan, who did not deliver their speeches).
A constellation of fighters from all corners of the planet who, for more than a century, have emerged as symbols of the cause of world peace in almost all its possible manifestations: the eradication of sexual violence as a weapon of war; assistance and relief for those who suffer; the prohibition of antipersonnel mines; social justice and respect for the rights of indigenous peoples; sustainable development; freedom of expression; the universal right to schooling; Disarmament and the creation of nuclear-weapon-free zones...
Women of very different origins, social backgrounds, and ideas who, all facing the challenges imposed by the times in which they lived, have offered humanity a message of hope and, above all, an example of admirable courage, commitment, and tenacity that has become a legacy of incalculable value for present and future generations.
