Eleanor May Moore
Eleanor May Moore (10 March 1875 – 1 October 1949) was an Australian pacifist. Moore was also a feminist.[1] She was involved in the peace movement as a member of the Sisterhood of International Peace (SIP), which later became part of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF).[2]
She was born in Lancefield, Victoria.[3] She attended the Presbyterian Ladies' College, Melbourne, where she edited the school paper and trained as a stenographer.[1] Moore's family were members of the Australian Church, founded by pacifist and preacher, Charles Strong.[1] After Strong formed the Sisterhood of International Peace (SIP) in 1915, Moore became joined, becoming the international secretary.[2] She represented the SIP in May 1919 at the International Women's Congress in Zurich.[2] Later, when the SIP became the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), Moore continued working as the secretary and was involved in the group until her death.[2] Moore represented WILPF at the Pan Pacific Union Women's conferences at Honolulu in 1928 and 1930.[2]
Moore was against using war to solve conflicts; she said: "I know that, however long the fight continues, in the end it must be settled by negotiation."[4] Moore chose not to marry and cared for her parents who lived to be 91 and 96.[1] She worked on a book, The Quest for Peace, finishing it in 1949.[2] Moore died in Toorak on 1 October 1949.[2]
