“…For instance, one of only two rare examples of documents “with a personal touch” in her otherwise strictly professional archival files is a newspaper clipping of 1943, detailing her plans for an executive committee of the Boston Branch of the United Yugoslav Relief Fund “to stimulate interest in sending more help to Yugoslav prisoners of war and to the children in the country itself.” 30 Next to this article that features her directly, there can only be found another semi-private record in her papers, this time not about herself but about the International Congress of Women in The Hague of 1915, a gathering of suffragists and pacifists which served as the ideological and logistical basis for the future WILPF 31 . Although operating in a diplomatic forum within the confines of the LoN, Wambaugh managed to maintain her feminist links and stay informed about other women’s international struggles to generate peace and disarmament throughout the interwar years (Gottlieb and Johnson 2020). Significantly, the 1920s and 1930s typified a “gendering” of IR (Stöckmann 2018; Owens and Rietzler 2021).…”

This article deals with Sarah Wambaugh’s life and work concerning global territorial questions of border disputes and nationalities as well as minorities issues. Trained at Radcliffe College in the disciplines of international law and political science, Wambaugh engineered a somewhat unprecedented career for herself in diplomatic circles after the First World War, achieving a worldwide reputation as the foremost expert on plebiscites, especially in areas of post-war conflicts. By looking at three case studies, this contribution particularly emphasizes Wambaugh’s role as an extra-governmental analyst of these referenda at the intersections of gender and universal suffrage. Within the context of geographic demarcations, aspects of citizenship, national belonging or affiliation, and minority rights, palpably, were paramount. While integrating these parameters into her theoretical discourses, Wambaugh went a step further by also adding the element of the franchise for women as an imperative coefficient regarding the drawing of borderlines. Hence, the female voting corpus – in most cases of quantitative significance during the aftermaths of wars, due to the substantial decimation of the male population on battle fields – attained a pertinent part in referenda-based rights to self-determination, and Wambaugh paid credit to this fact in her activism and writings.
