Biographical Text

Dorothy Detzer was an American peace activist who served as the executive secretary of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom's United States section from 1924 to 1947. She attended the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy and lived at Hull-House and working for the Juvenile Protection Association before working for war relief in Austria and Russia with the American Friends Service Committee. Detzer dedicated her life to peace after seeing the effects of the war on Europe and her own twin brother, and started her peace work in Washington. She was an astute lobbyist, working with politicians to put forward bill to curtail the munitions industry and end exploitation of African countries. She wrote a memoir, Appointment on the Hill (1948) and then worked until 1969 as a freelance journalist.

She married journalist Ludwell Denny in 1954. She was widowed in 1970 and died in 1981.
