努力促進和平的珍亞當斯

其他也曾獲頒諾貝爾和平獎的女性分別為1946年的愛蜜莉‧格林‧巴爾奇 (Emily Greene Balch) 及1997年的喬迪‧威廉斯 (Jody Williams) 。

在亞當斯的最後幾年,她努力與癌症奮戰。華盛頓特區盛會十天後的1935521日,她離開了世人,這個盛會主要是為了表彰她及國際婦女爭取和平和自由聯盟對世界的貢獻。當亞當斯獲取諾貝爾和平獎時,委員會表揚她為「美國民主精神的最佳表現」;您認為委員會意指什麼?


Some of the other women who have also been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize are Emily Greene Balch in 1946 and Jody Williams in 1997.

During her final years, Addams was ill with cancer. She died on May 21, 1935, 10 days after a banquet in Washington, D.C., honored her and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. When she won the Nobel Peace Prize, the committee cited her for her "expression of an essentially American democracy of spirit." What do you think the committee meant by this?
