Addams, Jane (Laura) Jane Addams (September 6, 1860-May 21, 1935) won worldwide recognition in the first third of the twentieth century as a pioneer social worker in America, as a feminist, and as an internationalist. She was born in Cedarville, Illinois, the eighth of nine children. Her father was a prosperous miller and local political leader who served for sixteen years as a state senator and fought as an officer in the Civil War; he was a friend of Abraham Lincoln whose letters to him began «My Dear Double D-'ed Addams». Because of a congenital spinal defect, Jane was not physically vigorous when young nor truly robust even later in life, but she became a graceful attractive woman after her spinal difficulty was remedied by surgery. Miss Addams and Miss Starr made speeches about the needs of the neighborhood, raised money, convinced young women of well-to-do families to help, took care of children, nursed the sick, listened to outpourings from troubled people. By its second year of existence, Hull-House was host to two thousand people every week. There were kindergarten classes in the morning, club meetings for older children in the afternoon, and for adults in the evening more clubs or courses in what became virtually a night school. The first facility added to Hull-House was an art gallery, the second a public kitchen; then came a coffee house, a gymnasium, a swimming pool, a cooperative boarding club for girls, a book bindery, an art studio, a music school, a drama group, a circulating library, an employment bureau, a labor museum.

The Long Road of Woman's Memory Jane Addams Introduction by Charlene Haddock Seigfried Wild rumors of a Devil Babya child with miniature horns and a forked tail who appeared in retribution for a husband's crueltyin Hull-House brought a flood of curiosity-seekers to Jane Addams's door. To her surprise, many of the most adamant about seeing the Devil Baby were older, working-class, immigrant women. These women, as a rule rather withdrawn from the community, seemed to spring to life in response to this apocryphal storyand to be inspired to tell stories of their own. The tales they shared with Addams in the wake of the Devil Baby were more personal and revealing than any they had previously told her: stories of abusive mates, lost or neglectful children, and endless, ill-paid menial labor endured on behalf of loved ones. In response to these sometimes wrenching conversations, Addams wrote The Long Road of Woman's Memory, an extended musing on the role of memory and myth in women's lives. As Addams recorded the difficult recollections of these women, she pondered the transformation of their experiencesso debilitating and full of anguishinto memories devoid of rancor and pain. The women's stories, graphically depicting the conditions in which they lived and labored and the purposefulness that sustained them, are gracefully woven together with Addams's insights on the functioning and purpose of memory.

Tolerance is h a r m o n y in difference." ~ Jane Addams With an passion for tolerance and service to others, pioneer social reformer Jane Addams (1860-1935) was born on this day in Cedarville, Illinois. Her father was a prominent businessman and state senator. "The excellent becomes the permanent," she once said. As a child, her father gave her a nickel for every book she read and understood. She became a voracious reader and by 15 has read all the books in her home library. "When I grow up," young Jane told her father, "I want to build a beautiful house, then I will invite all the poor people to come and stay with me." And that's exactly what she did. Along with friend Ellen Starr, Addams established Hull House in 1889, an innovative community center located in one of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods. What they envisioned as a "center for a higher civic and social life," became the best educational and social service organization of its time. "Social advance depends as much upon the process through which it is secured as upon the result itself," said Addams, an example of hope and courage.

KennisQuiz.nl Jane Addams De Amerikaanse sociaal werkster en sociaal hervormster Jane Addams (1860-1935) stichtte in 1915 de Internationale Vrouwenbeweging voor Vrede en Vrijheid. Zij werd in 1931 onderscheiden met de Nobelprijs voor de vrede. Tijdens een tweede reis naar Europa maakte ze in Londen kennis met een opvanghuis in de slums. Terug in Amerika stichtte Jane Addams in 1889 samen met haar vriendin Ellen Starr een soortgelijk opvanghuis in Chicago. Deze instelling werd gehuisvest in het gebouw Hull House in de Halsted Street. Hull House groeide snel uit tot een groot en belangrijk centrum voor de armste bewoners van Chicago. Addams en haar medewerksters verzorgden onder meer cursussen op het gebied van geldbeheer, kinderverzorging, en gezondheid. Bovendien werden projecten opgestart om werklozen aan de slag te helpen. De belangstelling voor de projecten van Jane Addams was overweldigend. In korte tijd groeide de instelling uit haar jasje en werden nieuwe gebouwen in gebruik genomen om plaats te bieden aan de cursisten. In latere jaren werden ook een bibliotheek, een verpleegstersopleiding en een gymnastieklokaal toegevoegd. Jane Addams geloofde dat de bewoners van de steden vanuit hun individualisme moesten groeien naar een nieuwe sociale ethiek. Naast haar bemoeienissen met Hull House gebruikte Addams haar invloed ook om de politiek te bewerken. Mede dankzij Addams kwam bijvoorbeeld in 1893 de Amerikaanse Factory Inspection Act (Fabrieksinspectiewet) tot stand. In 1899 stond Addams aan de basis van de instelling van de jeugdrechter.

Issues Peace Patriots Jane Addams Jane Addams In 1917, Theodore Roosevelt called Jane Addams "the most dangerous woman in America." Five years before, she had seconded his nomination for president as a third-party candidate; he welcomed her support in his unsuccessful campaign. Five years before that, Roosevelt had helped to initiate one of the first intergovernmental peace conferences, a project that she carried further in co-founding the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. Theodore Roosevelt, like most Americans, admired Jane Addams for co-founding Chicago's Hull House in 1889, but he was shocked when she committed herself to something as "radical" as resisting the war effort in 1915. Such were the shifting, changing responses to this major figure in the American tradition of nonviolence: a person who learned as she went along, taking whatever action seemed appropriate, no matter what the public response. Although she enjoyed much admiration for her work among poor immigrants, Addams repeatedly risked censure-and the loss of public favor in addressing the causes of poverty and working for peace during a "popular" war. Her defense of political radicals, especially after the Justice Department imprisoned or exiled them to Europe during the Red Scare of 1919, is particularly noteworthy. "Providing a voice of reason in the midst of hysteria," as Michael A. Lutzger wrote, she defended the loyalty of aliens in Chicago and the liberties they had lost: The cure for the spirit of unrest in this country is conciliation and education-not hysteria. Free speech is the greatest safety valve of our United States . Let us give these people a chance to explain their beliefs and desires. Let us end this suppression and spirit of intolerance which s making America another autocracy.

During a trip to Europe in 1887-88 with Ellen Gates Starr, she was inspired by a visit to the Toynbee Hall settlement house, founded in 1884. Toynbee Hall was located in Whitechapel, the area east of the City of London that would become notorious for the exploits of Jack the Ripper beginning in August, 1888. Returning to the United States, Addams and Starr acquired a large vacant house that had been built by Charles Hull, renaming it Hull House. This would grow to a settlement that included thirteen buildings and a camp near Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. In 1910, the year that

This ongoing series features several historical figures you might never have heard of. We call them "Champions of Children," as they are or were caring, visionary individuals committed to child abuse prevention. Hey, it's time someone tried to make them famous! Jane Addams Jane Addams (1860-1935) is best known for being the guiding force behind Hull House, one of the earliest "settlement houses" in the U.S. Settlement houses, usually a neighborhood welfare institution in an urban slum area, arose in the mid-1800s in England. Different from social welfare agencies, settlement houses were designed to improve neighborhood life in general. Hull House, co-founded in Chicago's west side slums with Ellen Starr, was widely considered a great success and inspired other people to launch similar settlement houses in their own geographic areas. Her idea began when Addams was on a visit to east London in 1883. During the trip, she saw a horrifying sitepoor children bidding on rotten vegetables. Their pale faces were dominated by that most unlovely of human expressions, the cunning and shrewdness of the bargain-hunter who starves if he cannot make a successful trade, and yet the final impression was not of ragged, tawdry clothing nor of pinched and sallow faces, but of myriads of handsempty, pathetic, nerveless and workwornshowing white in the uncertain light of the street, and clutching forward for food which was already unfit to eat.

Retrieved on August 12, 2002, from http://www2.pfeiffer.edu/~lridener/DSS/INDEX.HTML#addams American Roots Jane Addams was a country girl who reformed the big city. A native of rural Illinois in nineteenth- century mid-America, she went to booming, roaring Chicago, forged her lifework amid teeming streets and squalid tenements, and permanently changed the metropolis of her state. Only a genius could have done this. Jane Addams was a genius who, luckily, arrived on the scene at just the right moment to play her role in history. Between her birth in 1860 and her establishment of Hull-House in 1889, the United States, rising from the disaster of the Civil War, became a nation less and less agrarian, more and more urban. And Jane Addams imaginatively and energetically utilized the new urban environment, with its unsolved problems, to carry out the mission to which she dedicated herself. That mission, based on individual effort, mutual help, peaceful reform, and faith in progress, placed her squarely in the American traditionappropriately, for she had deep American roots. Her parents, John Huy Addams and Sarah (Weber) Addams, were originally from Pennsylvania, where their ancestors had lived since Colonial times. In 1681, William Penn had granted a tract of land in his new colony to an Englishman named Robert Adams, who crossed the Atlantic and became one of the earliest Pennsylvanians. He was joined by his brother Walter, progenitor of the line that produced Jane Addams. Walter's son Isaac (Jane's great-grandfather) seems to have been the first "Addams," adding the extra "d" apparently to avoid confusion with a relative of the same name. Isaac's son was Samuel Addams, and
