She was born in Cederville, Illinois, on September 6, 1860, Jane Addams founded the world famous social settlement of Hull House.That is where she lived and worked from the time it started in 1889 to the time she died in 1935. Jane Addams built her reputation as the country’s most successful women thanks to her books and stories, her settlement work and all of her effort she gave for world peace. I actually believe that sooner or later she will end up winning a nobel peace prize for working so hard. With the hull house she has changed the lives of many and will end up to be someone great.
Jane Addams graduated in 1881 from Rockford College. She came back the following year to receive one of the school’s first bachelor’s degrees. With limited career opportunities for women, she began searching for ways to help others and solve the country’s growing social problems. In 1888, Addams and her college friend,Ellen Gates Starr, visited Toynbee Hall, the two women observed college-educated Englishmen “settling” in desperately poor East London slum where they helped the people. This gave her the idea for Hull House. She helped
Hull House was the nation's most influential settlement house was established by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr on the Near West Side of Chicago on September 18, 1889. By 1907, the remodeled the mansion had expanded to a massive 13-building complex covering nearly a city block. The new things were a gym, a movie theater music school, auditorium, lunch room, kindergarten, nursery, libraries, post office, art studios, kitchen, and a dining room and apartments for the workers. Attracting thousands of people each week from the surrounding neighborhood, the expanded Hull House provided space for learning. While Jane Addams was in charge, Hull House was the best-known settlement house in the United States and became the flagship of a movement that included nearly five hundred settlements nationally by 1920. The hull house helped so many people come into the country and get settle in America instead of going into the country right away.
