Introduction The Industrial Revolution took place in America in the years immediately following the Civil War. The boom of machines and manufacturing required a cheap and plentiful labor force around the same time millions of Europeans swarmed into American cities. By 1890, 80 percent of the people living in Chicago were immigrants or children of immigrants. Most cities, however, did not have the resources to handle such a rapid growth of people. Many immigrants were forced to settle in slums, living lives of poverty and hopelessness. Problems were only worsened by the fact that several different ethnic groups were huddled into one area.

Other great links Childhood: On September 6, 1860 Laura Jane Addams was born to Sarah Weber Addams and John Addams, the same year in which Abraham Lincoln ran for president (1971, ix). It has been noted that Jane's father and Lincoln were such good friends letters would come addressed to Addams as "My Dear Double D'-'ed Addams" (http:nobel.sdsc.edu/laureates/peace-1931-1-bio.html). She became very close to her father, as she was his last link to Sarah, and became extremely fond of him as he was of her. She began to mimic everything he had done from the scarring of her hands that came with milling to reading every book in the village library (1971). Jane had "half expected and fully hoped to grow up to be her father" (1971, 15). Jane later states that her father was the one who incorporated her into "the moral concerns of life" (1971, 9). Jane recalls in her book, Twenty Years at Hull House , which has been seen as autobiographical, her first encounter with poverty. She remembered asking her father why people lived in awful little houses so close together. Then replied, she would have a large house in the middle of all the terrible small ones (1910).

Stanley K. Schultz, Professor of History William P. Tishler, Producer Shane Hamilton, Web Editor Addams, Jane Social reformer, settlement house pioneer (1860-1935) Jane Addams grew up in a cultured, middle-class, liberal environment in northern Illinois. Her mother died when she was two; her father was a prosperous businessman, state senator and fervent abolitionist. After graduation from Rockford Female Seminary in 1882, several years of travel, aborted studies, occasional charity work, depression and poor health followed. Concerned over urban poverty and seeking purpose in her own life, Addams gradually formulated the ambitious project which would become her life's work. Jane Addams with a group of immigrant children In 1889, she and Ellen Starr purchased an old mansion in the middle of Chicago's immigrant neighborhoods and turned it into the Hull House settlement. This innovative institution aimed to alleviate the poverty and alienation of urban life, serving as community center, meeting place, nursery, educational resource, gymnasium, arts center and boardinghouse. Under Addams' leadership, the settlement also fought for progressive social reform, sponsoring studies of urban conditions and lobbying for legislation on housing, working conditions and child labor. Addams envisioned the settlement house not simply as charity for the poor, but as invaluable life experience for the educated, privileged but reform-minded young women who worked there. The success of Hull House spawned similar institutions in many other cities.

Jane Addams was born in Cedarville, Illinois in 1860. Addams came from a comfortable background and was educated at Rockford College. She was among the first American women to graduate from college. Frustrated by the lack of opportunities available to intelligent and ambitious young women, she traveled to Europe with a college friend, Ellen Gates Starr. In 1887, towards the end of their trip, they visited Toynbee Hall in London's Whitechapel district (where Jack the Ripper would commit his crimes just a year later). Toynbee Hall was the first settlement house, a house in an impoverished area where college educated people would "settle" and work to improve the lives of their poor neighbors. Addams and Starr determined to open a settlement house in Chicago. They rented the former residence of Charles J. Hull on Halsted Street from his cousin, Helen Culver. It was in Chicago's toughest, poorest neighborhood. Hull-House opened in 1889. Among its offerings were classes on Shakespeare, classical music concerts, and discussions of fine art. Addams, Starr and their friends tapped into their elite Chicago connections to find collaborators. Extension school courses from the University of Chicago were offered on the premises (the first outside of the University itself). A gallery of art donated by an Art Institute trustee had regular shows that often drew hundreds of visitors. The Chicago Public Library established a branch at Hull-House.

Selected Moments of the 20th Century A work in progress edited by Daniel Schugurensky Department of Adult Education, Community Development and Counselling Psychology, The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto (OISE/UT) Jane Addams, founder of Hull-House, is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize At age 71, Jane Addams (1860-1935) became the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, an honor which she shared with Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University. Described at that ceremony as a spokesperson for all peace-loving women of the world, Addams had been actively engaged in the peace movement since 1914. Her struggle for peace was not easy. During the war, she was attacked as unpatriotic and demonized as an advocate of socialism and communism. Prior to the beginning of World War I, Addams devoted most of her time to the Hull-House, a Chicago settlement house and educational center that attracted countless numbers of poor immigrants, and to political activities aimed at abolishing child labor. She was a natural leader, and, in spite of her frequent illnesses, she was at the forefront of the struggles for women's suffrage, immigrant education, health care, children's rights, housing, peace and progressive education. Born in 1860, Jane was the eighth child of nine. Her mother died during childbirth when Jane was two and a half. Her father, John Addams, was a major influence in her life. He was a prosperous sawmill owner in rural Illinois and was concerned with public interest issues. Among John Addam's accomplishments, he helped to organize the first church and school in their home town and ran the first town library out of their house. Later in his life he was elected a state senator, as a staunch supporter of Abraham Lincoln, who would become a role-model for Jane in her early years.

T-Z Subjects: A-E F-L M-Z Addams, Jane (1860-1935) page: She had at least two long-term same-sex relationships, which might best be described in the language of the day as "romantic friendships" or " Boston marriages ": first with Ellen Starr, who persuaded Addams to found Hull House; and then with Mary Rozet Smith, a wealthy, college-educated young woman who worked at and helped support Hull House. The latter relationship began in the early 1900s and lasted until Smith's death in 1934. Its intensity is detailed by the letters and poems that the two women wrote to each other. Sponsor Message. Although Addams and Smith lived at a time when lesbian identity was still being shaped, they clearly understood themselves as forming a married couple. Addams wrote to Smith during a period of separation: "You must know, dear, how I long for you all the time, and especially during the last three weeks. There is reason in the habit of married folks keeping together." Addams was honored for her work for world peace at the twentieth anniversary congress of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in May 1935. Soon after the congress, on May 21, 1935, she died, aged 74. Her passing was mourned throughout the world, but especially by the poor of Chicago.

T-Z Subjects: A-E F-L M-Z Addams, Jane (1860-1935) page: American reformer, social worker, founder of the Hull House Settlement in Chicago, and peace activist, Jane Addams received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. Her involvement in same-sex relationships has consistently been hidden or minimized by official biographers. As a cultural feminist, Addams argued that the dominant male values at the turn of the twentieth century contributed to such tragic circumstances as poverty, urban blight, and war. It was therefore, she believed, the duty of women, with their superior social and emotional awareness, to propose alternative models of living. Sponsor Message. Addams's vision of a humane, communitarian society in which justice, freedom, mutual support, and individual achievement are the preeminent values is her enduring legacy. Addams was born into a well-off and locally influential family in Cedarville, Illinois, on September 6, 1860. Her mother died when she was only two years old, and she suffered from tuberculosis of the spine. When she was eight, her father married a cultured but domineering woman who would attempt to instill traditional values into her independent-minded stepdaughter.
