   Extractions: Miss Addams and Miss Starr made speeches about the needs of the neighborhood, raised money, convinced young women of well-to-do families to help, took care of children, nursed the sick, listened to outpourings from troubled people. By its second year of existence, Hull-House was host to two thousand people every week. There were kindergarten classes in the morning, club meetings for older children in the afternoon, and for adults in the evening more clubs or courses in what became virtually a night school. The first facility added to Hull-House was an art gallery, the second a public kitchen; then came a coffee house, a gymnasium, a swimming pool, a cooperative boarding club for girls, a book bindery, an art studio, a music school, a drama group, a circulating library, an employment bureau, a labor museum. As her reputation grew, Miss Addams was drawn into larger fields of civic responsibility. In 1905 she was appointed to Chicago's Board of Education and subsequently made chairman of the School Management Committee; in 1908 she participated in the founding of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy and in the next year became the first woman president of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections. In her own area of Chicago she led investigations on midwifery, narcotics consumption, milk supplies, and sanitary conditions, even going so far as to accept the official post of garbage inspector of the Nineteenth Ward, at an annual salary of a thousand dollars. In 1910 she received the first honorary degree ever awarded to a woman by

   Extractions: You are in: Museum of History Hall of Women Jane Addams Jane Addams was born in Cedarville Illinois on Sept. 6, 1860 and was educated at Rockford College, graduating in 1882. She is most well-known for founding Hull-House, located on the Near West Side of Chicago in 1889. She lived and worked there until her death in 1935.  At the time she was the nation's most distinguished woman influencing people through her writing, her social work, and efforts toward international peace.  In the area where Hull-House was located, a melting pot of first generation immigrants from Italy, Russia, Poland, Ireland, Germany, Greece and Eastern Europe had settled to find work in the industrialized city.  Jane Addams and her assistants provided the families with kindergarten and daycare services for working mothers, a job referral program, an art gallery, libraries, and music and art classes for the neighborhood residents.   By 1900 the Jane Club, a residence for working women, the Little Theater, a Labor Museum and a hall for trade union organizations had been established.   She and her cohorts also created the first juvenile court in the nation, and encouraged the Illinois legislature to make laws to protect women and children.  In 1903 a strong child labor law was passed along with a compulsory education law.  Their emphasis on education was seen in influencing the federal legislature to enact a federal child labor law in 1916.

   Extractions: Women's Intellectual Contributions to the Study of Mind and Society Students, as part of an advanced seminar, examined and wrote about the lives of these women, their intellectual contributions, and the unique impact and special problems that being female had on their careers. Jane Addams 1860- 1935 by Nicolle Bettis On September 6, 1860 Laura Jane Addams was born to Sarah Weber Addams and John Addams, the same year in which Abraham Lincoln ran for president (1971, ix). It has been noted that Jane's father and Lincoln were such good friends letters would come addressed to Addams as "My Dear Double D'-'ed Addams" (http:nobel.sdsc.edu/laureates/peace-1931-1-bio.html). She became very close to her father, as she was his last link to Sarah, and became extremely fond of him as he was of her. She began to mimic everything he had done from the scarring of her hands that came with milling to reading every book in the village library (1971). Jane had "half expected and fully hoped to grow up to be her father" (1971, 15). Jane later states that her father was the one who incorporated her into "the moral concerns of life" (1971, 9). Jane recalls in her book, Twenty Years at Hull House , which has been seen as autobiographical, her first encounter with poverty. She remembered asking her father why people lived in awful little houses so close together. Then replied, she would have a large house in the middle of all the terrible small ones (1910).

   Extractions: Jane Addams By courtesy of the University of Illinois at Chicago, Jane Addams Memorial Collection (1860-1935), social reformer Born in Cedarville, Illinois, on September 6, 1860, Jane Addams graduated from Rockford (Ill.) Female Seminary in 1881 and was granted a degree the following year when the institution became Rockford College. The death of her father in 1881, her own health problems, and an unhappy year at the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania left her depressed and aimless for some years. She traveled in Europe in 1883-85, but neither there nor during her stay in Baltimore (1885-87) did she find a vocation. In 1887-88 Addams returned to Europe with a Rockford classmate, Ellen Gates Starr . On a visit to the Toynbee Hall settlement house (founded 1884) in London's East End, Addams' vague leanings toward reform work crystallized. The two women returned to the United States and settled in Chicago. By September 1889 they had moved into the decrepit residence, built by Charles Hull in 1856, that came to be known as Hull House . The building was located in the midst of a teeming immigrant ward. Eventually the settlement included 13 buildings and a playground, as well as a summer camp near Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Many prominent social workers and reformers

    Extractions: Tijdens een tweede reis naar Europa maakte ze in Londen kennis met een opvanghuis in de slums. Terug in Amerika stichtte Jane Addams in 1889 samen met haar vriendin Ellen Starr een soortgelijk opvanghuis in Chicago. Deze instelling werd gehuisvest in het gebouw Hull House in de Halsted Street. Hull House groeide snel uit tot een groot en belangrijk centrum voor de armste bewoners van Chicago. Addams en haar medewerksters verzorgden onder meer cursussen op het gebied van geldbeheer, kinderverzorging, en gezondheid. Bovendien werden projecten opgestart om werklozen aan de slag te helpen. De belangstelling voor de projecten van Jane Addams was overweldigend. In korte tijd groeide de instelling uit haar jasje en werden nieuwe gebouwen in gebruik genomen om plaats te bieden aan de cursisten. In latere jaren werden ook een bibliotheek, een verpleegstersopleiding en een gymnastieklokaal toegevoegd. Jane Addams geloofde dat de bewoners van de steden vanuit hun individualisme moesten groeien naar een nieuwe sociale ethiek. Naast haar bemoeienissen met Hull House gebruikte Addams haar invloed ook om de politiek te bewerken. Mede dankzij Addams kwam bijvoorbeeld in 1893 de Amerikaanse Factory Inspection Act (Fabrieksinspectiewet) tot stand. In 1899 stond Addams aan de basis van de instelling van de jeugdrechter.

She and other Hull-House residents sponsored legislation to abolish child labor, establish juvenile courts, limit the hours of working women, recognize labor unions, make school attendance compulsory, and ensure safe working conditions in factories. The Progressive party adopted many of these reforms as part of its platform in 1912. At the party's national convention, Addams seconded the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for president and campaigned actively on his behalf. She advocated woman's suffrage because she believed that women's votes would provide the margin necessary to pass social legislation she favored. Addams publicized Hull-House and the causes she believed in by lecturing and writing. In her autobiography

Addams helped found Hull House in Chicago, where immigrants and the homeless found shelter, education, and medical assistance. Her autobiography, Twenty Years at Hull House , explained her philosophy of social reform. Her opposition to World War I made her an unpopular figure for a time, but ultimately her quest for world peace won her both respect and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. Addams was also a strong advocate of women's rights and a prominent figure in the Progressive movement at the turn of the century.
