In 1889 an unknown but determined Jane Addams arrived in the
immigrant-burdened, politically corrupt, and environmentally
challenged Chicago with a vision for achieving a more secure,
satisfying, and hopeful life for all. Eleven years later, her
"scheme," as she called it, had become Hull-House and stood as the
template for the creation of the American settlement house movement
while Addams's writings and speeches attracted a growing audience
to her ideas and work. The third volume in this acclaimed series
documents Addams's creation of Hull-House and her rise to worldwide
fame as the acknowledged female leader of progressive reform. It
also provides evidence of her growing commitment to pacifism. Here
we see Addams, a force of thought, action, and commitment, forming
lasting relationships with her Hull-House neighbors and the Chicago
community of civic, political, and social leaders, even as she
matured as an organizer, leader, and fund-raiser, and as a
sought-after speaker, and writer. The papers reveal her positions
on reform challenges while illuminating her strategies, successes,
and responses to failures. At the same time, the collection brings
to light Addams's private life. Letters and other documents trace
how many of her Hull-House and reform alliances evolved into deep,
lasting friendships and also explore the challenges she faced as
her role in her own family life became more complex. Fully
annotated and packed with illustrations, The Selected Papers of
Jane Addams, Volume 3 is a portrait of a woman as she changed-and
as she changed history.
