About this book

Twenty Years at Hull-House is the 1910 autobiography of Jane Addams (1860-1935), the founder of Chicago's Hull-House settlement and later the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The book tells how a well-off Illinois daughter turned a decaying mansion on Halsted Street into the most famous social settlement in America, serving immigrant neighbourhoods with clubs, clinics, and classes while reshaping the nation's idea of reform. It remains the classic text of the settlement movement. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
