Description
One of the most controversial women of the twentieth century, Jane Addams advocated for children, women, immigrants, fair working conditions, and world peace at a time when women were told to keep quiet and stay at home. Her efforts led to the founding of the first school of social work and of Hull-House, the best-known community house in the United States.
