The Women's Co-operative Guild, founded in 1883, began its life preoccupied with the problems and issues of home and family, but by 1914 attention had turned to the bigger picture: the Guild's Congress declared that 'civilized nations should never again resort to the terrible and ineffectual method of war for the settlement of international disputes'.
