Urban Experience In Chicago
If  you believe in a 40-hour maximum workweek, are a woman voter, or just fondly remember your childhood playground, you owe a debt of gratitude to Jane Addams. Addams' Hull House in Chicago was the crowning achievement of the U.S. settlement house movement, a breeding ground for ideas, proposals, and policy reforms in civil rights, women's suffrage, juvenile protection, court reform, public health, and urban planning. This University of Illinois at Chicago site uses correspondence, unpublished memoirs, newspaper and magazine articles, and historic images to document the life and times of Addams and Hull House, and the history of the social settlement movement. Highlights include a historical narrative and maps of old Chicago. (in U.S. History) |
