Twenty Years At Hull House

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!

A "Splendid Read"

A Thousand Splendid Suns- The only way I can describe this book is heart-wrenching and beautifully written. A Thousand Splendid Suns invites the reader into the lives of two Afghani women, Mariam and Laila, whose lives become entwined when they become the wives of the same cruel husband. This is an interesting look into societal norms and the detrimental role "taboo" issues in society play by discouraging people to address them. This is one page-turner you do not want to miss!
