A book about Jane Addams
 Citizen
by Louise W. Knight
“In
order to understand [Tolstoy's] theories, one has first to connect them
with his life.”
— Jane Addams
Pioneer of the settlement house movement, co-founder of Chicago's famous
Hull House, one of the nation's first secular nonprofits; first female
American to receive the Nobel Peace Prize; pacifist; feminist; humanitarian;
and apostle of tolerance - Jane Addams led a life of stunning generosity
and courage in troubled times. This half-life biography, covering the
years from her birth in 1860 in rural northern Illinois to the end of
her first decade at Hull House, in 1899, tells the story of how a sheltered,
educated, wealthy young woman converted her despair over her general
uselessness to the world into a life of civic action. Read
