London, 1883. Jane Addams came upon a crowd of poor, hungry people all struggling to outbid each other for a measly supply of rotten vegetables. Haunted by the memory of their clutching, desperate hands, she continued her travels through Europe, eventually settling in Chicago. There, with her friend Ellen Starr, she founded Hull-House. In this book, first published in 2010, Addams details the history of an inspiring institution that dedicated itself to providing a resource for cultural improvement to immigrant and poor communities throughout Chicago, and still inspires today.

Work Description
Jane Addams's narrative of life in an immigrant urban neighborhood provides students with an introduction to the issues of the Progressive era and the tenets of social activism. This new teaching edition reduces Addams's original text by about 35 percent, trimming illustrative detail to focus on the ideological underpinnings of the original work. The author sketches a brief biographical portrait of Addams, outlines the decisions and convictions that led her to found Hull-House, and includes a vivid picture of turn-of-the-century Chicago. Related documents include a description of life at Hull-House from the perspective of an immigrant who frequented it, an early review of Hull-House, and perspectives from other reformers.
