Twenty Years at Hull House Book PDF Summary
"Jane Addams' autobiographical account of her career as a social reformer, entertainingly informal and anecdotal in its style, sets forth the great and fruitful ideal embodied in her work at Hull-House, the now legendary Chicago settlement house she founded in 1889. In the beginning chapters of the book, Miss Addams tells of her early life, her education, and her decision to take up social work. She then describes the founding of Hull-House and the varied social and educational activities which the organization pioneered and developed. Ensuing chapters reveal Miss Addams' active interest in strikes, labor legislation, and problems of immigration and describe her work as a member of the Board of Education. One particularly stimulating chapter relates her visit with the Russian novelist Tolstoy and her criticism, sympathetic yet discriminating, of his thoroughgoing solution to the labor problem. The book closes with a general exposition of the educational value of a settlement in the socialization of democracy. Twenty Years at Hull-House, originally published by The MacMillan Company in 1910, through the years has become a classic in education and social work, an established literary monument to America's pioneering efforts in social reform. This new edition contains the complete, unabridged text of Miss Addams' great work."--Jacket
