Myrtle Solomon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Myrtle Solomon Myrtle Solomon (9 June 1921 – 22 April 1987) was an active pacifist. She was general secretary of the Peace Pledge Union (PPU), a British pacifist organisation, between 1965 and 1972, and Chair of the War Resisters International (WRI) between 1975 and 1986. ==Early life== Solomon was born in Kensington, London. She was the third of five children of fairly liberal and affluent Jewish parents. Her father was a solicitor while her mother came from the family that ran the Lewis's store in Manchester.〔Interview with Margaret Farnham in “Inventing Ourselves: Lesbian life stories”. Hall Carpenter Archives Lesbian Oral History Group.〕 Before the Second World War her parents played an important role in helping Jewish refugees escape from Germany and Austria. Solomon attended St Paul's Girls' School but left at the age of 16. In the Second World War she worked for a year with the Women’s Voluntary Service driving a mobile canteen.〔 Not yet a pacifist she then worked in an armaments factory. This experience turned her into a feminist. Women doing skilled work were being paid less than men who swept the floors. Another issue that concerned her at the time was the British nationality law where a British man could pass his nationality to his wife but a British woman could not make her husband British.〔Mitzi Bales (Opening doors to peace. A memorial to Myrtle Solomon ) War Resisters International, 1991〕
