Abstract
Randall Forsberg was an advocate for controlling nuclear arms, founder of the Institute
for Defense and Disarmament Studies (IDDS), and coauthor of the nuclear
freeze proposal. Born Randall Watson in Huntsville, Alabama, she was raised in New
York and studied at Barnard College before working as a teacher in Pennsylvania in
the mid-1960s. In 1967, she married Gunnar Forsberg, a Swede then studying in the
United States, and the couple moved to Stockholm. Forsberg secured a job as a
typist at the newly founded Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a
research center devoted to disarmament studies and conflict resolution. There she
soon began to conduct research as she honed her interest in and passion for nuclear
arms control.
