Rosette Susanna "Rosa" Manus (Dutch pronunciation: [roːˈsɛtə syˈsɑnaː ˈroːsaː ˈmaːnʏs] was born 20 August 1881 and died either at Auschwitz or Ravensbruck in 1942.[1] She was a Jewish Dutch pacifist and female suffragist and was involved in women's movements and anti-war movements.[2] She served as the President of the Society for Female Suffrage, the Vice President of the Dutch Association for Women's Interests and Equal Citizenship, and was one of the founding members of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) as well as its secretary.[3][4] She firmly believed that women could work together across the world to bring peace.[5] Although Manus was fairly well known in feminist circles in the 1920s and 1930s, she remains relatively unknown today.[6] She was involved in feminist work for about thirty years during her lifetime and was known as a "feminist liberal internationalist."[7][8]
