Twenty Years at Hull-House

Focusing on social reform, Jane Addams chronicles her transformative work at Hull-House, a settlement she co-founded to improve conditions for working-class immigrants in Chicago. Inspired by her experiences in London, Addams established Hull-House in 1889 as a community hub aimed at fostering civic engagement and social uplift. The narrative highlights her role as a pioneering female leader during the Progressive Era, blending personal reflections with broader social issues. Despite the complexity of her writing, her commitment to social justice resonates powerfully.
