Biographical Text

Lucia Ames Mead worked as a piano teacher in Boston before becoming involved in activism, her first notable appearance being a speaker at the Lake Mohonk Conference on International Arbitration in 1897. In 1904 she created an exhibit for the American Peace Society at the St. Louis World's Fair, which later became a pamphlet titled "A Primer of the Peace Movement," and in 1913 she made an award-winning float called "Law Replaces War" for the Columbus Day parade in Boston. Mead was national secretary of the Woman's Peace Party and a delegate at the founding of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in 1919, was vice-president of the National Council for Prevention of War, and chaired the Peace and Arbitration program of the National Council of Women of the United States. She was also involved in the suffrage movement, being a member of the National American Woman Suffrage Association and president of the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association. She also wrote many books, including Great Thoughts for Little Thinkers, Memoirs of a Millionaire, To Whom Much is Given, What Young People Ought to Know about War and Peace, and Law or War.

Lucia Ames married editor Edwin Doak Mead in 1898. She died in 1936 after being crushed by a crowd in the Boston subway.
