- Abstract
This paper is focused on militaristic and pacifist discourses and social practices arisen in Europe from mid-nineteenth century to the outbreak of World War I. It addresses how a culture of peace, rich in proposals and debates, was created. This culture of peace was stimulated by female leaders that enjoyed international recognition, organised networks and were involved in mobilisations in various countries. Notable among them was the Austrian aristocrat Bertha von Suttner, first woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, in 1905. Her novel Lay Down Your Arms!, subject matter of this paper, not only is a cultural product where a pacifist plot is developed, but also a text that provides, from the perspective of sociocultural-history, numerous values, attitudes, significations, and political and ideological references on war and peace.
