An article titled "Pacific NW Antiwar History" discusses the anti-nuclear organizing in the 1970s and 1980s in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The author, Jessie Kindig, explores how activists from the civil rights and Vietnam antiwar movements redirected their political energy towards anti-nuclear work during this period. In 1973, the Navy proposed the Trident nuclear submarine project, an act that can be considered the catalyst for the anti-nuclear movement. The anti-nuclear movement became a significant force in Seattle's antiwar and peace activism during the 1970s and 80s. It continued the rupture between society and the military that had emerged during the Vietnam War. While the 1980s saw a retreat from the protest movements and radicalism of the previous decades, campaigns against nuclear weapons and military interventions, as well as protests for divestment from South Africa's apartheid regime, maintained a small current of anti-militarism activism.

While the article does not specifically mention the feminist movement, it is important to note that feminism was a significant force in shaping activism and social change during the 20th century. The feminist movement focused on addressing gender inequality, reproductive rights, and challenging traditional gender roles and expectations. Women Strike for Peace (WSP) was a prominent women-led peace organization founded in 1961 during the height of the Cold War. It emerged in response to growing concerns about the nuclear arms race and the potential devastating consequences of nuclear weapons. The organization was initially formed by a group of women who were deeply troubled by the escalating tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union and the potential threat to global peace.
