Peggy Duff
Peggy Duff (8 February 1910 – 16 April 1981) was a British political activist who started off her career with a protest against the treatment of German prisoners of war in Britain after the Second World War. She was principally known for her contribution to the peace movement as the organiser of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. She was described by Noam Chomsky as "one of the people who really changed modern history".〔("The Example of Peggy Duff", in Robert Barsky, ''Noam Chomsky: A Life of Dissent'', MIT Press, 1998. )〕 ==Background== Duff was born as Margaret Doreen Eames. Her father, Frank Eames, was a stockbroker's clerk in suburban Middlesex. She attended the Hastings Secondary School for Girls. The headmistress noted that she was "very public-spirited". She then went to Bedford College, University of London, where she read English. After university she worked as a journalist and in 1933 married Bill Duff, a fellow journalist. He was killed during the Second World War while covering an American air raid on the Burma railway for an armed forces' newspaper. The couple had two daughters and a son (photo-journalist Euan Duff). Duff began her involvement in peace campaigning in the late 1930s.
