Synopsis
In 1889, while many Americans were disdainful of newly arrived immigrants, Jane Addams established Hull-House as a refuge for Chicago's poor. The settlement house provided an unprecedented variety of social services. Addams's inspiring autobiography chronicles the institution's early years and discusses the ever-relevant philosophy of social justice that served as its foundation.

Review
"An indispensable classic of American intellectual and social history." -- Berenice A. Carroll, editor of Liberating Women's History: Theoretical and Critical Essays. "After twenty years of relative obscurity, the early-twentieth-century social crusader and author of Twenty Years at Hull-House is once again in the spotlight." -- Arianne Chernock, Lingua Franca. "The classic account of the development of Hull-House into a vibrant community center for Chicago's immigrants and poor. Addams' memoir is central to understanding the aims and mood of the progressive era." -- The Front Table

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Hamilton, Norah (illustrator). Published in 1910, this was Addams's most successful book; 80,000 copies were sold before her death in 1935. This annotated edition was issued on the occasion of the Hull-House centennial. Twenty Years at Hull-House is an indispensable classic of American intellectual and social history, and remains a rich source of provocative social theory. Jane Addams was both an activist of courage and 'a thinker of originality and daring.' Her life and writings exemplify the integration of social thought and action. Addams and her associates at Hull-House had wide-ranging influence not only on the key reform movements of their time but also on major currents of philosophical, sociological, and political thought. Filled with careful empirical observations, reflections on everyday life, accounts of practical action, and prescriptions for public policy, this small volume also embodies such important theoretical contributions as 'The Necessity of Social Settlement, ' 'A Decade of Economic Discussion, ' 'Tolstoyism, ' and 'Problems of Poverty.' Long acclaimed for its autobiographical and historical value, Twenty Years at Hull-House should be read today as much for its enduring insights, critical analyses, and persuasive vision.--Bernice A.
