In the years leading up to World War II thousands of women pacifists who had entered colleges or universities or begun careers in major cities had found soul mates in ecumenical peace organizations. In 1939 Margaret Calbeck, an alumna of the Ohio State University, moved to St. Paul to begin a position with the Young Women's Christian Association. Raised a Methodist, she had spent the previous summer with a student peace organization sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee. When she arrived in St. Paul, she was eager to establish connections with like-minded activists, so she contacted Twin Cities peace leaders whose names she had obtained from AFSC staff. In St. Paul she joined the Pacifist Action Fellowship (PAF), an organization affiliated nationally with both the Fellowship of Reconciliation and War Resisters League.
