Although Jane Addams's Twenty Years at Hull-House is considered
an American classic, her dozen books and hundreds of published
articles have sometimes been thought of as quaint examples of an
overly optimistic era. Beginning in the 1990s, feminist scholars
rediscovered the vitality of Addams's social philosophy and
challenged the marginalization of her ideas. Today, following a
war-laden twentieth century and the failure of militarism and "get
tough" approaches to solve domestic and global problems, Addams's
social theorizing, which emphasizes cosmopolitan experiences and
sympathetic connections, provides a provocative alternative to
Western notions of individualism, transactional relations, and
spectator epistemology. Feminist Interpretations of Jane Addams
brings together many of the leading Addams scholars in North
America to consider Addams's ongoing relevance to feminist
thought.
