Caroline founded the WILPF publication Pacific Vision in 1982 and served as league international vice president. 鈥淲omen have been the prime nurturers, and therefore they are really oriented to life and the human race,鈥� she wrote. She marched in peace rallies and protests, sang with the Raging Grannies, and dedicated her life to promoting democracy, women鈥檚 rights, and organized representation for labor. She also found time for hiking and agate collecting. Her passion for opera and chamber music grew out of the hours she spent listening to classical music in the Capehart room in Winch.
