Abstract

This article analyzes the life of Amy Heminway Jones and her contributions to the development of international thought and the transnational networks that promoted internationalism and the international mind during the early twentieth century. Building on the work of Patricia Owens and Mary Niles Maack the article situates analysis of Jones's work and accomplishments within attempts to overcome the exclusion of historical women from the development of international thought and internationalism. The article places Jones's work at the nexus of a vast transnational network and movement to promote new perceptions about international affairs and the world through programs such as the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace's International Mind Alcoves and International Relations Clubs. The article demonstrates the extent to which Jones contributed to these efforts and the ways in which her position within the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace provided her with privileges and authority rare for a woman of her age and educational background.
