Kate Richards O'Hare

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kate Richards O'Hare (1877-1948) was a prominent American Socialist anti-war activist during World War I.

As the editor of the National Rip-Saw, a socialist journal, O'Hare critiqued American society from a socialist perspective. After the outbreak of war in 1917, O'Hare led the Socialist Party's Committee on War and Militarism. Due to her anti-war activities, she was imprisoned by the government for violating the Espionage Act of 1917, but in 1920 was pardoned by President Warren Harding after a nationwide campaign to secure her release.
