Twenty Years at Hull-House by Jane Addams
Published in 1910, this was Addams's most successful book; 80,000 copies were sold before her death in 1935. This annotated edition was issued on the occasion of the Hull-House centennial. Twenty Years at Hull-House is an indispensable classic of American intellectual and social history, and remains a rich source of provocative social theory. Jane Addams was both an activist of courage and 'a thinker of originality and daring.' Her life and writings exemplify the integration of social thought and action. Addams and her associates at Hull-House had wide-ranging influence not only on the key reform movements of their time but also on major currents of philosophical, sociological, and political thought. Filled with careful empirical observations, reflections on everyday life, accounts of practical action, and prescriptions for public policy, this small volume also embodies such important theoretical contributions as 'The Necessity of Social Settlement, ' 'A Decade of Economic Discussion, ' 'Tolstoyism, ' and 'Problems of Poverty.' Long acclaimed for its autobiographical and historical value, Twenty Years at Hull-House should be read today as much for its enduring insights, critical analyses, and persuasive vision.--Bernice A. Carroll, editor of Liberating Women's History: Theoretical and Critical EssaysJane Addams (1860-1935) was a social critic, a Progressive reformer, and the author of numerous publications on social issues. In 1931, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Pragmatism and Feminism: Reweaving the Social Fabric is written by Charlene Haddock Seigfried, a professor of philosophy at Purdue University.
