Sign in to saveAlso known as Bertha Sophia Felicita Freifrau von Suttner, Gräfin Kinsky von Wchinitz und Tettau, B. Oulot, Jemand, Countess Kinsky, Baroness Bertha Sophie von Suttner, Bertha Sophia Felicita von Suttner, Bertha Kinsky von Wchinitz und Tettau
Austrian novelist, radical (organizational) pacifist, editor
Bertha von Suttner was an Austrian novelist and editor who became a leading advocate for peace movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She matters because she was one of the earliest prominent voices arguing against war and violence at a time when such radical pacifism was uncommon, and her writing and activism helped shape the modern peace movement.
