In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Caldicott became a leader in the antinuclear movement in the United States through her role in reviving the organization Physicians for Social Responsibility. She also helped to found several other organizations which worked to abolish controlled nuclear fission. In the 1980s, she was effective in raising support and bringing nuclear issues to the forefront.

Helen Mary Caldicott (born 7 August 1938) is an Australian physician, author, and anti-nuclear advocate who has founded several associations dedicated to opposing the use of nuclear power, depleted uranium munitions, nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons proliferation, and military action in general. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Caldicott became a leader in the anti-nuclear movement in the United States through her role in reviving the organization Physicians for Social Responsibility and her role along with Randall Forsberg as one of the leaders of the Nuclear Freeze Movement. She has continued to publicize her concerns, dividing her time between the United States and Australia and lecturing on nuclear energy, weapons and power, notably on the Fukushima nuclear meltdown. Recipient of the Gandhi Peace Prize, the Norman Cousins Award for peace-making, and the Margaret Mead Award, Helen Caldicott was also the founder of the Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament (WAND). This candid self-portrait reveals a charismatic and uncompromising woman whose remarkable efforts to save the world continue even today. In 1995, the Physicians for Social Responsibilities umbrella affiliate, The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War was the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. More
