Twenty Years at Hull House, by the acclaimed memoir of social
reformer Jane Addams, is presented here complete with all
sixty-three of the original illustrations and the biographical
notes. A landmark autobiography in terms of opening the eyes of
Americans to the plight of the industrial revolution, Twenty Years
at Hull House has been applauded for its unflinching descriptions
of the poverty and degradation of the era. Jane Addams also details
the grave ill-health she suffered during and after her childhood,
giving the reader insight into the adversity which she would
re-purpose into a drive to alleviate the suffering of others. The
process by which Addams founded Hull House in Chicago is detailed;
the sheer scale and severity of the poverty in the city she and
others witnessed, the search for the perfect location, and the
numerous difficulties she and her fellow activists encountered
while establishing and maintaining the house are detailed.
