W hen I was barely twelve years old, coming into my father's room one morning, I found him sitting beside the fire with a newspaper in his hand looking very solemn, and upon my eager inquiry what had happened, he told me that Joseph Mazzini was dead. I had never even heard Mazzini's name, and after being told about him I was inclined to grow argumentative, asserting that my father did not know him, that he was not an American, and that I could not understand why we should be expected to feel badly about him. It is impossible to recall the conversation with the complete breakdown of my cheap arguments, but in the end I obtained that which I have ever regarded as a valuable possession, a sense of the genuine relationship which may exist between men who share large hopes and like desires, even though they differ in nationality, language and creed; that those things count for absolutely nothing between groups of men who are trying to abolish slavery in America or to throw off Hapsburg oppression in Italy. At any rate, I was heartily ashamed of my meager notion of patriotism, and I came out of the room exhilerated with the consciousness that impersonal and international relations are actual facts and not mere phrases. I was filled with pride that I knew a man who held converse with great minds and who really sorrowed and rejoiced over happenings across the sea.

Extractions: Jane Addams was born in Cedarville, Illinois in 1860. Addams came from a comfortable background and was educated at Rockford College. She was among the first American women to graduate from college. Frustrated by the lack of opportunities available to intelligent and ambitious young women, she traveled to Europe with a college friend, Ellen Gates Starr. In 1887, towards the end of their trip, they visited Toynbee Hall in London's Whitechapel district (where Jack the Ripper would commit his crimes just a year later). Toynbee Hall was the first settlement house, a house in an impoverished area where college educated people would "settle" and work to improve the lives of their poor neighbors. Addams and Starr determined to open a settlement house in Chicago. They rented the former residence of Charles J. Hull on Halsted Street from his cousin, Helen Culver. It was in Chicago's toughest, poorest neighborhood. Hull-House opened in 1889. Among its offerings were classes on Shakespeare, classical music concerts, and discussions of fine art. Addams, Starr and their friends tapped into their elite Chicago connections to find collaborators. Extension school courses from the University of Chicago were offered on the premises (the first outside of the University itself). A gallery of art donated by an Art Institute trustee had regular shows that often drew hundreds of visitors. The Chicago Public Library established a branch at Hull-House.

Extractions: Shane Hamilton, Web Editor Addams, Jane Social reformer, settlement house pioneer (1860-1935) Jane Addams grew up in a cultured, middle-class, liberal environment in northern Illinois. Her mother died when she was two; her father was a prosperous businessman, state senator and fervent abolitionist. After graduation from Rockford Female Seminary in 1882, several years of travel, aborted studies, occasional charity work, depression and poor health followed. Concerned over urban poverty and seeking purpose in her own life, Addams gradually formulated the ambitious project which would become her life's work. Jane Addams with a group of immigrant children In 1889, she and Ellen Starr purchased an old mansion in the middle of Chicago's immigrant neighborhoods and turned it into the Hull House settlement. This innovative institution aimed to alleviate the poverty and alienation of urban life, serving as community center, meeting place, nursery, educational resource, gymnasium, arts center and boardinghouse. Under Addams' leadership, the settlement also fought for progressive social reform, sponsoring studies of urban conditions and lobbying for legislation on housing, working conditions and child labor. Addams envisioned the settlement house not simply as charity for the poor, but as invaluable life experience for the educated, privileged but reform-minded young women who worked there. The success of Hull House spawned similar institutions in many other cities.

Jane Addams 1860- 1935 by Nicolle Bettis On September 6, 1860 Laura Jane Addams was born to Sarah Weber Addams and John Addams, the same year in which Abraham Lincoln ran for president (1971, ix). It has been noted that Jane's father and Lincoln were such good friends letters would come addressed to Addams as "My Dear Double D'-'ed Addams" (http:nobel.sdsc.edu/laureates/peace-1931-1-bio.html). She became very close to her father, as she was his last link to Sarah, and became extremely fond of him as he was of her. She began to mimic everything he had done from the scarring of her hands that came with milling to reading every book in the village library (1971). Jane had "half expected and fully hoped to grow up to be her father" (1971, 15). Jane later states that her father was the one who incorporated her into "the moral concerns of life" (1971, 9). Jane recalls in her book, Twenty Years at Hull House , which has been seen as autobiographical, her first encounter with poverty. She remembered asking her father why people lived in awful little houses so close together. Then replied, she would have a large house in the middle of all the terrible small ones (1910).

Extractions: The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto (OISE/UT) Jane Addams, founder of Hull-House, is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize At age 71, Jane Addams (1860-1935) became the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, an honor which she shared with Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University. Described at that ceremony as a spokesperson for all peace-loving women of the world, Addams had been actively engaged in the peace movement since 1914. Her struggle for peace was not easy. During the war, she was attacked as unpatriotic and demonized as an advocate of socialism and communism. Prior to the beginning of World War I, Addams devoted most of her time to the Hull-House, a Chicago settlement house and educational center that attracted countless numbers of poor immigrants, and to political activities aimed at abolishing child labor. She was a natural leader, and, in spite of her frequent illnesses, she was at the forefront of the struggles for women's suffrage, immigrant education, health care, children's rights, housing, peace and progressive education. Born in 1860, Jane was the eighth child of nine. Her mother died during childbirth when Jane was two and a half. Her father, John Addams, was a major influence in her life. He was a prosperous sawmill owner in rural Illinois and was concerned with public interest issues. Among John Addam's accomplishments, he helped to organize the first church and school in their home town and ran the first town library out of their house. Later in his life he was elected a state senator, as a staunch supporter of Abraham Lincoln, who would become a role-model for Jane in her early years.
