Jane Adams, activist, social worker, author, and Nobel PeacePrize winner, is best remembered as the founder of Hull-House in Chicago, a progressive social settlement that soughtto reduce poverty through offering social services andeducational opportunities to the poor immigrants andlaborers of working-class Chicago. Adams became one of thecountry's most prominent women through her settlementwork, her writing, and, later, as an international activist forworld peace.The eighth of nine children, Jane Adams was born inCedarville, Illinois, and graduated from Rockford College in1882. Her father was a wealthy industrialist and a friend ofAbraham Lincoln. In 1888, Adams visited Toynbee Hall, asettlement house located in London's East End. The visitinspired her to undertake a similar effort in anunderprivileged area of Chicago. In 1889, she leased and tookresidence in a large home built by Charles Hull, where sheproposed "to provide a center for a higher civic and sociallife, to institute and maintain educational and philanthropicenterprises, and to investigate and improve the conditions inthe industrial districts of Chicago."To the largely immigrant population living and working in theindustrial neighborhood, Hull-House offered kindergartenand day-care facilities for children of working mothers, an artgallery, libraries, music and art classes, and an employmentbureau. By its second year, Hull-House was serving over2,000 residents every week and, by 1900, had grown toinclude a book bindery, gymnasium, pool, cooperativeresidence for working women, theater, labor museum, andmeetingplace for trade union groups.Those who worked alongside Jane Adams in Hull-Houseincluded Florence Kelley, Alice Hamilton, Julia Lathrop, EllenGates Starr, Sophonisba Breckinridge, and Grace and EdithAbbott, all of whom became well-known activists as a resultof their experiences at Hull-House. They became a powerfullobby, launching a number of innovative social programs,including the Immigrants' Protective League, the JuvenileProtective Association, the first juvenile court in the nation,and a Juvenile Psychopathic Clinic (later called the Institutefor Juvenile Research). In addition, they helped convince theIllinois legislature to enact protective legislation for womenand children, child labor laws, and compulsory educationlaws.Jane Adams wrote prolifically on topics related to services atHull-House, spoke in the US and abroad, and was active inmany local and national organizations. She served as afounding member of the National Child Labor Committee,chartered by Congress in 1907, which led to the creation ofthe Federal Children's Bureau in 1912 and the passage of aFederal Child Labor Law in 1916.A member of the Progressive Party, Adams was also a leaderin the National Consumers League; the first woman presidentof the National Conference of Charities and Corrections (laterthe National Conference of Social Work); chair of the LaborCommittee of the General Federation of Women's Clubs; vicepresident of the Campfire Girls; and on the executive boardsof the National Playground Association, the National ChildLabor Committee, and the National Association for theAdvancement of Colored People.
