One of the most amazing women in history, Jane Addams led an extraordinary life dedicated to helping those around her. This beautiful piece is an incredible look into her brainchild, the Hull House in Chicago. It was here that Jane, along with Ellen Gates Starr, reinvented community activism through their fight for equality for the immigrants of the region. This is an in-depth look at the trials and successes she encountered while building her settlement house from the ground up.
The beauty of this piece is that Jane's words remain as pertinent today as they were when she penned them. This book is an excellent source of motivation for those working in the non-profit sector. This is a MUST READ for anyone interested in social justice and community building!
