"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
