Help Home Browse Selected Topics Flash ... Important Notices Jane Addams (1860-1935) Jane Addams, an American social worker and humanitarian, was born in Cedarville, Illinois. Her family was well-to-do and she received a good education. While travelling in Europe, she visited Toynbee Hall, an institution in London, England, which aimed at helping the poor through education, according to the philosophy of Arnold Toynbee. Addams was very impressed. In 1889, with her friend Ellen Gates Starr, she founded Hull House in the slums of Chicago. Based on the model of Toynbee Hall, Hull House offered help to the less fortunate by providing a kindergarten, library, lectures and clubs for all ages and a variety of interests. Addams was aided by many helpers, some paid workers and some volunteers, a number of whom lived at Hull House. Addams also worked for labour law reform, and was a founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People. She also campaigned for international peace. She was the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize (in 1931, jointly with Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University). Mackenzie King first met Jane Addams in 1895, when she was in Toronto speaking about Hull House. He was greatly inspired. "I never listened to an address which I more thoroughly enjoyed," he wrote. (Diary, July 20, 1895) The next day he spoke further with Miss Addams about her work, and wrote: "The history ..., taking it back to the influence and practical work of Arnold Toynbee was more than delightful to me." (Diary, July 21, 1895)

23. American Experience | Chicago: City Of The Century | People & Events People Events Jane Addams (18601935) Jane Addams was born in Cedarville,Illinois in 1860. Addams came from a comfortable background http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/chicago/peopleevents/p_addams.html

Jane Addams was born in Cedarville, Illinois in 1860. Addams came from a comfortable background and was educated at Rockford College. She was among the first American women to graduate from college. Frustrated by the lack of opportunities available to intelligent and ambitious young women, she traveled to Europe with a college friend, Ellen Gates Starr. In 1887, towards the end of their trip, they visited Toynbee Hall in London's Whitechapel district (where Jack the Ripper would commit his crimes just a year later). Toynbee Hall was the first settlement house, a house in an impoverished area where college educated people would "settle" and work to improve the lives of their poor neighbors. Addams and Starr determined to open a settlement house in Chicago. They rented the former residence of Charles J. Hull on Halsted Street from his cousin, Helen Culver. It was in Chicago's toughest, poorest neighborhood. Hull-House opened in 1889. Among its offerings were classes on Shakespeare, classical music concerts, and discussions of fine art. Addams, Starr and their friends tapped into their elite Chicago connections to find collaborators. Extension school courses from the University of Chicago were offered on the premises (the first outside of the University itself). A gallery of art donated by an Art Institute trustee had regular shows that often drew hundreds of visitors. The Chicago Public Library established a branch at Hull-House. Philosopher/educator John Dewey, suffragist Susan B. Anthony

Women's Rights on Trial Jane Addams American social worker Jane Addams was one of the first people in America who sought to improve the lives of these desperate poor. Introduction The Industrial Revolution took place in America in the years immediately following the Civil War. The boom of machines and manufacturing required a cheap and plentiful labor force around the same time millions of Europeans swarmed into American cities. By 1890, 80 percent of the people living in Chicago were immigrants or children of immigrants. Most cities, however, did not have the resources to handle such a rapid growth of people. Many immigrants were forced to settle in slums, living lives of poverty and hopelessness. Problems were only worsened by the fact that several different ethnic groups were huddled into one area. Jane Addams was one of the first people in America who sought to improve the lives of these desperate poor. In Chicago she founded a settlement house (community center) called Hull House. Her work toward social improvements in Chicago, coupled with the work of other reformers, marked the beginning of the Progressive movement in America. Reaching its height in the early twentieth century, this movement sought to overcome the often dehumanizing effects of rapid industrialization through a variety of political, economic, and social reforms. Later in her life, Addams focused her energies on international problems, becoming a dedicated leader in the peace movement.

Jane Addams: Social Working Arrives! Introduction: "The dependence of classes on each other is reciprocal." This was Jane Addams's theory on how helping other people would not only benefit them but oneself as well. Jane Addams was a very inspirational woman who spent her life fighting for the well being of others. She changed the face of history through social working and Hull House. Through her compassion toward other people, she brought the miracle that today we call, social working, to America. For the first time in history other Americans were reaching out to the less fortunate in a way that could actually make a difference and make America and the world a better place to live in. A country without social working is a country in shambles. Jane Addams changed the law's outlook on how people in America are treated. Hull House's accomplishments forced Chicago's government to investigate conditions in which people live. America became a better place to be after Jane Addams left her mark on hisrtory. Early Life: Jane Addams was born in September 6, 1860 in Cedarville, Illinois. She grew up in upper class Illinois, her family was among the town's wealthiest. When Jane was only two she lost her birth mother in 1863. From the beginning of her life she was taking care of others. Even in her young age she took responsibility and watched over her younger brothers and sisters. She was always deeply influenced by her father and wanted to grow up to be just as good of a person as him. Jane was known as an honest and moral child, following the lessons of her father.

Selected Moments of the 20th Century A work in progress edited by Daniel Schugurensky Department of Adult Education, Community Development and Counselling Psychology, The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto (OISE/UT) Jane Addams, founder of Hull-House, is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize At age 71, Jane Addams (1860-1935) became the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, an honor which she shared with Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University. Described at that ceremony as a spokesperson for all peace-loving women of the world, Addams had been actively engaged in the peace movement since 1914. Her struggle for peace was not easy. During the war, she was attacked as unpatriotic and demonized as an advocate of socialism and communism. Prior to the beginning of World War I, Addams devoted most of her time to the Hull-House, a Chicago settlement house and educational center that attracted countless numbers of poor immigrants, and to political activities aimed at abolishing child labor. She was a natural leader, and, in spite of her frequent illnesses, she was at the forefront of the struggles for women's suffrage, immigrant education, health care, children's rights, housing, peace and progressive education. Born in 1860, Jane was the eighth child of nine. Her mother died during childbirth when Jane was two and a half. Her father, John Addams, was a major influence in her life. He was a prosperous sawmill owner in rural Illinois and was concerned with public interest issues. Among John Addam's accomplishments, he helped to organize the first church and school in their home town and ran the first town library out of their house. Later in his life he was elected a state senator, as a staunch supporter of Abraham Lincoln, who would become a role-model for Jane in her early years.
