ADDAMS, JANE (186o- )

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 183 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
ADDAMS, JANE (186o- ) , American sociologist, was born at Cedarville,
Illinois
 , on the 6th of September 186o. After graduating at Rockford (
Illinois
 ) Female
Seminary
  (now
Rock
 -ford College) in 1881, she spent several years in the study of economic and sociological questions in both Europe and America, and in 1889 with Miss Ellen
Gates
  Starr established in Chicago, Illinois, the social
settlement
  known as Hull
House
 , of which she became the head-worker. The success of this
settlement
 , which became a
great
  factor for good in the city, was principally due to Miss Addams's rare executive skill and
practical
  common-sense methods. Her personal participation in the
life
  of the community is exemplified in her acceptance of the office of inspector of streets and alleys under the municipal government. She became widely known as a lecturer and writer on social problems and published Democracy and Social Ethics (1902), Newer Ideals of Peace (1907), and The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets (1909).
