Bertha von Suttner: The OG Peace Queen

On December 10, 1905, Bertha von Suttner shattered ceilings and made HERstory as the first Woman ever awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and she didn’t stop there.

Back in 1889, Bertha dropped a literary bombshell with her book Lay Down Your Arms, becoming a powerhouse voice in the global peace movement. In a world where Women were expected to be “seen and not heard,” Bertha spoke loudly, and the world listened.

Writer. Activist. Barrier-breaker. She didn’t just talk about peace... She demanded it.

✨ Let there be peace. And let it start with fierce Women like Bertha. ✨
