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
