Dorothy Hewitt Hutchinson (October 1905 – 1984) was an American peace, civil rights and environmental activist, lecturer and author during the twentieth century. An advocate of nuclear disarmament, she became the president of American branch of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) in 1961 and the international chair of WILPF in 1965, the first American woman to hold that position since Jane Addams co-founded the organization in 1915. A member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), she was also one of the peace activists engaged in the fight for voting rights for African-Americans during the 1960s. A polio survivor, she was supported by a leg brace and cane as she marched with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during civil rights protest in the United States in 1965.
