Twenty Years at Hull-House

As a pioneering figure in social reform, Jane Addams significantly influenced the Progressive Era through her work at Hull House, which she co-founded to address community needs. She advocated for women's suffrage, emphasizing the importance of women's voices in government matters traditionally tied to their roles in the home. Recognized as a public philosopher and a leader in social work, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. Her legacy continues to inspire women to engage in community upliftment and social justice.
