Jane Addams, one of the greatest pioneers in sociology and social work in American history. This is her story. Born in the fall of 1860, Jane Addams grew up in the farming village of Cedarville, Illinois, just north of Freeport. John Huy Addams, her father, was the wealthiest man in Stephenson County and the family owned the largest homestead in Cedarville. Jane's mother, Sarah Weber Addams, died when she was two years old. Her father remarried when she was eight to Anna Haldeman, who was a widow with two sons, Harry and George, who joined the Addams family circle. Jane Addams father was the major influence in her life. John Addams was a Quaker and deeply religious, but also a critical thinker. He was described as a very honest and moral man; He was described as "a man of 'fine ability and unquestionable integrity'. His political views and values also shaped Jane, who became known as the mother of American social work. Addams was a successful business man and one of the founders of the Republican Party. "He served for sixteen years in the senate in the Illinois General Assembly, representing his and nearby counties and assuming an increasing leadership role there until his retirement in 1870. Among the committees on which he served were Education, Public Road, Township Organization and Counties, Saline and Swaplands, Geology, Agricluture, Internal Navigation, Finance, Banks and Corporations, State Institutions, Printing, and Peniteniary. He also shepherded local bills through the legislature, including those that created local public improvement and those that incorporated local businesses. In addition he visited educational, penal, and mental institutions and was on the legislative committee that established the University of Illinois and mandated improved conditions at the state penitentiary at Joliet following a public scandal. Moreover, he was instrumental in passing legislation protecting the property rights of woman." John Huy Addams also passed on to Jane his passion for civil rights. An example of this was his participation in the Underground Railroad. He used the homestead in Cedarville, Illinois as a stop on the Underground Railroad. John Addams' strong belief that slaves should be freed naturally made him a strong supporter of Abraham Lincoln. Jane admired her father as a model of ethical behavior and considered him an enlightened and rational thinker in the tradition of Abraham Lincoln. Jane also made it known in her book Twenty Years at Hull House with Autobiographical Notes how strongly she felt about Lincoln and what he did for the country: "Is it not Abraham Lincoln who has cleared the title to our democracy? He made plain, once for all, that democratic government, associated as it is with all the mistakes and shortcomings of the common people, still remains the most valuable contribution America has made to the moral life of the world." Another influential reformer her father introduced her to was Giuseppe Mazzini. Her father explained to Jane that Mazzini worked tirelessly to bring great change to his country. Mazzini was described as an "Italian revolutionary, political theorist, and advocate of Italian unification". By the age of sixteen, Jane had absorbed many of her father's viewpoints and his admiration for heroes in history like Abraham Lincoln. According to her autobiography, she had read Thomas Carlyle's Heroes and Hero Worship. Her father's influence did not always come in the form of introduction to people who advocated change, but also from his tenacity and pursuit of knowledge. Jane wrote about why she adopted his habit of getting up in the early morning and reading: "I knew that he still woke up punctually at three o'clock because for so many years he had taken his turn at the mill in the early morning, and if by chance I awoke at the same hour, as curiously enough I often did I imagined him in the early dawn in my uncle's old mill reading though the entire village library, book after book, beginning with the lives of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Copies of the same books, mostly bound in calfskin, were to be found in the library below, and I courageously resolved that I too would read them all and try to understand life as he did. " Jane Addams entered Rockford Female Seminary, Rockford, Illinois, in 1877. Her generation of young women was the first to attend college in large numbers. Vassar had been founded in 1861, Smith in 1872, and Wellesley in 1875. John Addams was a trustee of Rockford Female Seminary (later Rockford College) and Jane's older sisters had attended the school. Established with an evangelical Christian purpose, Addams found herself in conflict with the missionary agenda of the place but made a name for herself as a student leader and fine scholar. She graduated in 1881. Having graduated in 1881, Jane Addams received one of the first A.B. degrees from Rockford Female Seminary the following year and served as a trustee of that institution from 1887 to 1908. It was there thatJane Addams met Ellen Gates Starr. Starr's family lacked the funds to support her, so she left the seminary after one year and began a career as a school teacher. The two friends remained pen pals and both longed to find meaningful work in the world. As Jane Addams approached graduation her concerns about finding a resolution to her indecision about her future heightened: in "Opening Address," Rockford Seminary Magazine (April 1880), she wrote about women's strengths and stated that women had a unique public role. After graduation, she planned to attend medical school. This choice caused her parents much concern. They felt that she had attended college long enough and were concerned that she would remain single her entire life. Jane became deeply depressed. She wanted more in life than a husband to take care of her. Her brothers both had careers in medicine and science, why couldn't she? The duties and role of a housewife and mother did not appeal to her. Jane's parents decided that the best course was to take Jane and her friends on a grand tour of Europe for a year or two. Perhaps Jane would settle down and realize that her duty was to marry and have a family. In Twenty Years at Hull House, Jane describes her first experience in East London and the overwhelming poverty which was inflicted upon this city. " One of the most poignant of these experiences, which occurred during the first few months after our landing upon the other side of the Atlantic, was on a Saturday night, when I received an ineradicable impression of the wretchedness of East London, and also saw for the first time the overcrowed quarters of a great city at midnight. A small party of tourists were taken to the East End by a city of missionary to witness the Saturday night sale of decaying vegetables and fruit, which could not be sold until Monday, and, as they were beyond safe for keeping, were disposed of at auction as late as possible on Saturday night. On Mile End Road, from the top of the omnibus which paused at the end of a dingy street lighted by only occasional flares of gas, we saw two huge masses of ill-clad people clamoring around two hucksters' carts. They were bidding their farthing and ha'pennies for a vegetable held up by an auctioneer, which he at last scornfully flung, with a gibe for its cheapness, to the successful bidder. In the momentary pause only one man detached himself from the groups. He had bidden in a cabbage, and when it struck his hand, he instantly sat down on the curb, tore it with his teeth, and hastily devoured it, unwashed and uncooked as it was. " Reflecting back on her education she began to feel that women, through education, had lost a sense of empathy. They were so protected they were not given the opportunity to turn down devastation. Although she does not know exactly when she formed the idea of a settlement house she had previously thought about renting a house in the city where young women could learn more life skills and practice ideas they had. She captured the experience in her autobiography: I had made up my mind that next day, whatever happened, I would begin to carry out the plan, if only by talking about it. I can well recall the stumbling and uncertainty with which I finally set it forth to Miss Starr, my old-time school friend, who was one of our party. I even dared to hope that she might join in carrying out the plan, but nevertheless I told it in the fear of that disheartening experience which is so apt to afflict our most cherished plans when they are at last divulged, when we suddenly feel that there is nothing there to talk about, and as the golden dream slips through our fingers we are left to wonder at our own fatuous belief. But gradually the comfort of Miss Starr's companionship, the vigor and enthusiasm which she brought to bear upon it, told both in the growth of the plan and upon the sense of its validity, so that by the time we had reached the enchantment of the Alhambra, the scheme had become convincing and tangible although still most hazy in detail. A month later we parted in Paris, Miss Starr to go back to Italy, and I to journey on to London to secure as many suggestions as possible from those wonderful places of which we had heard, Toynbee Hall and the People's Palace. So that it finally came about that in June, 1888, five years after my first visit in East London, I found myself at Toynbee Hall equipped not only with a letter of introduction from Canon Fremantle, but with high expectations and a certain belief that whatever perplexities and discouragement concerning the life of the poor were in store for me, I should at least know something at first hand and have the solace of daily activity. I had confidence that although life itself might contain many difficulties, the period of mere passive receptivity had come to an end, and I had at last finished with the ever-lasting "preparation for life," however ill-prepared I might be. (Addams, 1910, p. 87-88) Jane began to show signs of serious illness during this time. Was her health affected by stress? There was the pressure to do her parents' bidding, and inner turmoil over whether or not to disobey them and choose a career. Her father died shortly after her return from Europe in 1881. This sent Jane into an even deeper depression. She felt as if she had upset him with her insistence upon a meaningful career. Her illness grew to the proportion of "invalid." She could not move without great pain. Jane did have a slight curvature of the spine. She saw a doctor and soon had surgery and was strapped onto a back harness for about a year and was unable to move from it. This year gave her time to think. During this time, Jane Addams had periods of depression about her state of mind and doubts about whether she would be able to discover her life's purpose. She spends time in Baltimore, Maryland, with her stepmother and stepbrother, and there engages in charity work. In 1888, When she recovered, she headed to Europe once again. While in England, she was introduced to the workings of Toynbee Hall, a settlement house in the London slums. Toynbee Hall was named after Arnold Toynbee. Toynbee was a social reformer and an economist. While as a tutor at Balliol College, he wrote a series of lectures, which were later published under the title of The Industrial Revolution, about the development of industry in Britain during the 18th and 19 centuries. Toynbee was driven to help the fast growing population of the working class by developing a system through his study of economics that would help them rise above poverty. Toynbee felt in part this could be accomplished through education, and worked to established educational opportunities for the poor. As a believer in the co-operative movement, he felt it was every individual's responsibility for improving the lives of the less fortunate. Toynbee died at age 30 in 1883 and a year later his colleagues founded the Toynbee Hall in Whitechapel, East London where he had spent much time working to improve the lives of the working class. Although Jane never met Arnold Toynbee, she was impacted powerfully by his beliefs and legacy when she visited Toynbee Hall in 1888. She describes the experience in a letter to her sister Sarah: The most interesting thing that I have done in London was a visit to the Toynbee Hall in the East End. It is a community of University men who live there, have their recreating clubs & society all among the poor people yet in the same style they would live in their own circle. It is so free from "professional doing good" so matter of factly sincere and so productive of good results in its classes and libraries that it seems perfectly ideal. It is easy to see why Jane wanted to recreate Toynbee Hall in Chicago. The Reverend and his wife believed in the importance of self-help, and the hall provided programs that included adult education, housing, medical, and youth programs. Some of the activities and services are described in The Social Awakening inLondon by Robert A. Woods: Toynbee Hall is essentially a transplant of university life in Whitechapel. The quadrangle, the gables, the diamond-paned windows, the large general rooms, especially the dining-room with its brilliant frieze of college shields, all make the place seem not so distant from the dreamy walks by the Isis or the Cam. But these things are not so much for the sake of the university men as of their neighbors, that they may breathe a little of the charmed atmosphere. For this purpose Toynbee Hall becomes a hospitable home. All that it includes of earnestness, learning, skill, and whatever may rise out of a spirit of friendliness, is meant to be put at the service of the people of the East End. Every one that is in any way in relation with what goes on at the Hall, is now and then the guest of the residents at some informal gathering. Particular provision is even made that the residents may ask their new-made friends to break bread with them. The fifteen or twenty men constantly at the Hall, together with a considerable body of associate workers, by the skilled direction of Mr. Barnett, have been able to accomplish some valuable results for the improvement of politics and social life in Whitechapel. There is a public library in Whitechapel today-beside the Toynbee Hall library-voted for by the local constituency as a result of political canvassing from Toynbee Hall. The great improvement in facilities for housing the people, in the administration of charity, and in the respect for law and order, shows striking results of the work of the warden and residents. As for the increase of the healthful pleasures of life which has been brought about in that joyless region, it is alone enough to justify the faith of the founders. The lines for a people's university are being broadly and soundly laid. A long list of courses of study is carried through, to the advantage of thirteen hundred students, male and female. The facilities for study are gradually being improved, and there are now two houses adjacent to Toynbee Hall where forty young men, members of the classes, live a kind of college life. In addition to all the classes, each week during the winter there is a concert, two popular lectures, and a smoking conference. The Reverend Samuel Barnett (1909) wrote about the essence of hall: Toynbee Hall seems to its visitors to be a centre of education, a mission, a centre of social effort. It may be so; but the visitors miss the truth that the place is a club house in Whitechapel occupied by men who do citizen's duty in the neighbourhood. The residents are not as a body concerned for education, teetotalism, poor relief, or any special or sectarian object. Each one leads his own life, earns his own living, and does his duty in his own way. Catholic, Churchman, Jew, Dissenter, and Agnostic, they live together and strengthen one another by what each contributes to the common opinion. There is no such thing as a "Toynbee Hall policy," and it is never true to say that "Toynbee Hall" favoured one candidate in an election, or that it stands for any special form of religion. A few men with their own bread to earn, with their own lives to enjoy, with their own sense of social debt, come to live together. No one surrenders what he has found to be good for his own growth; each man pursues his own vocation and keeps the environment of a cultured life. There is no affectation of equality with neighbours by the adoption of mean or dirty habits. There is no appearance of sacrifice. The men live their own life in Whitechapel instead of in West London, and do-what is required of every citizen-a citizen's duties in their own neighbourhood. If those duties seem to a man to include the preaching of his own faith, he delivers his own soul and tells his gospel when he visits in a club or teaches in a class. There is no limit put on any form of earnestness so long as it is the man, and not the place, who is committed. (p. 262 - 263) Jane did not know at first that social work was to be her final answer to the question of her life's work. It took some time after her tour of Europe before she and her traveling companion, Ellen Starr, decided upon starting a settlement house in Chicago. Once committed, there was no stopping these young women, especially Jane. She was the creator, the innovator, and the leader. People truly looked up to and admired her. Public donations provided almost all of her needs. It took only a few years for Hull House to offer medical care, child care and legal aid. It also provided classes for immigrants to learn English, vocational skills, music, art and drama. While Toynbee hall may have provided impetus for Jane's plans, she and Ellen Starr had already made plans to live among the poor in Chicago. Toynbee Hall, was also discussed among women and men of Addams's college generation. Other Americans were influenced by the Barnetts' work in East London too. The idea of "settling" has officially captured the minds of many. Jane and Ellen went to the Near West Side neighborhood where they found, on the corner of Halsted and Polk street, a house that had seen better days. It was the old Hull mansion. In the fall of 1889, Addams and Starr rent rooms there, securing a lease from its owner, Helen Culver, cousin of the recently deceased C.J. Hull. She agreed to let them use the mansion for nothing. She did it to help the people of Chicago. In 1891 the first new building was constructed. Jane Addams, Ellen Gates Starr and Mary Keyser opened Hull-House to adults and children and found that a creche and kindergarten were highly needed there. In a short span of time they set up many cultural and social activities and invited others to participate. Classes were soon offered in English, German, French, child care, cooking, drawing, singing, piano, athletics, chemistry, math, and art. They were quickly joined by residents who lived in the complex and volunteers came regularly to teach classes, supervise the playground that was built across the street. Volunteers also cared for infants and young children in the creche and nursery. Chicago was experiencing a severe depression at the time and by its second year, Hull-House was visited by two thousand people every week. The Hull-house kindergarten classes in the morning, club meetings for older children and for adults in the evening more clubs or courses. Soon added to Hull-House was an art gallery, a public kitchen, a coffee house, a gymnasium, a swimming pool, a cooperative boarding club for girls, a book bindery, an art studio, a music school, a drama group, a circulating library, an employment bureau, and a labor museum. Hull-House was frequently used for community groups' meetings, trade union meetings, and forums on controversial topics of the day. The Hull House charter read that it was "to provide a center for a higher civic and social life; to institute and maintain educational and philanthropic enterprises, and to investigate and improve the conditions in the industrial districts of Chicago". Jane believed Americans did not like think a threat to democracy was caused by the extremes in classes. She stated that "The good we seek for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secure for all of us". This seemed to not only show through in her goals but her life as well. About this time, Jane began what would become a life partnership with Mary Rozet Smith. In this, she was an inspiration to the women who founded the Daughters of Bilitis, an early womens organization for gay rights. By 1895, Jane Addams's achievements included her appointment as a member or the Civic Federation of Chicago's Arbitration Committee, which dealt with the Pullman Strike (1894) and the publication of Hull-House Maps and Papers (1895).As her reputation grew, Miss Addams was drawn into larger fields of civic responsibility. In 1905 she was appointed to Chicago's Board of Education and subsequently made chairman of the School Management Committee; in 1908 she participated in the founding of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy and in the next year became the first woman president of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections. In her own area of Chicago she led investigations on midwifery, narcotics consumption, milk supplies, and sanitary conditions, even going so far as to accept the official post of garbage inspector of the Nineteenth Ward, at an annual salary of a thousand dollars. In 1910 she received the first honorary degree ever awarded to a woman by Yale University. In 1913 she would become the Vice President of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Due to the success of the Hull-House, Jane Addams had begun to lecture nationally from 1892. Addams was a frequent lecturer on subjects ranging from the ideas of Leo Tolstoy to the practical aspects of social settlement work. When speaking about a co-worker, Jane once said, "It is good for a social worker to be an artist too". It was this creative and compassionate mind that was able to devote her energies to creating organizations and places for people to turn to when in need. Jane not only helped those stricken by poverty; she tried to get at the source. She believed that by changing the laws, the poor would benefit. Jane Addams had become nationally known only a short twenty years ofter creating the Hull-house. This could be seen in the favorable reception of her Twenty Years at Hull-House with Autobiographical Notes (1910), her leadership nationally in the movement for Woman's Suffrage, and her placement in 1912 on the executive board of the Progressive Party, the first woman to achieve such a rank on a national party committee. She co-founded the NAACP with W.E.B. Dubois in 1909 along with a multi-racial group of individuals. Jane was very concerned about children and even met with Teddy Roosevelt in 1909 to discuss a conference about the best type of care to give children. She stated, "It brought the entire subject before the country as a whole and gave to social work a dignity and a place in the national life which it had never known before". Jane wanted badly to create a United States Children's Bureau to protect children. They protested against child labor and wanted decent care for children. It was her work on economic reform that made her a controversial figure. When horrible working conditions led to the Haymarket riot, Jane was personally attacked for her support of the workers. Hull House lost much support at a result. She had to support Hull House with money she earned from lecture tours and article writing. However, she began to enjoy international acclaim. Her first book was published in 1910 and others followed every two years. Her biggest success was the book, Twenty Years at Hull House, which became her autobiography. Around 1915, Jane Addams becomes the leader of an international movement for peace and justice tries hard to organize women to protest World War I. Her feelings against the war made Americans upset when the United States enters World War I she continues to espouse her controversial views. She continued to work hard in the wake of hostilities. She organized the Women's Peace Party and the International Congress of Women. This latter organization met at The Hague and made serious diplomatic attempts to stop the US entry to the war. Soon he was expelled from the Daughters of the American Revolution, but she cared very little. In 1919 she was elected first president of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, a position she held until her death. She was a founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). She was accused of being a socialist, an anarchist and a communist, but she found an outlet for her humanitarian impulses as an assistant to Herbert Hoover in providing relief supplies of food to the women and children of the enemy nations, the story of which she told in her book Peace and Bread in Time of War (1922). During the 1920s Jane Addams travels worldwide. As Victoria Brown puts it, "Addams, now a woman in her sixties, embarked on a whole new career. Her time in the 1920s was devoted to corresponding and meeting with peace activists from many nations, lobbying for relief for Germany, Russia, Poland and Armenia, affiliating with liberation movements in Ireland and India, and encouraging women's independent activism in Latin America, Mexico, China, and Japan." In 1934, Mary Rozet Smith died. Her death was unexpected. Friends felt Jane, who was herself in poor health, might not withstand the loss. Little did they know how soon Jane would follow after Mary, suffering from heart disease as she was. In 1931, Jane Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Four years earlier she had been honored at a Civic Dinner in Chicago, and in 1929 she became the Honorary President for Life of the Womens' International League for Peace and Freedom. Although she had not been a resident of Hull house during the last years of life, she visited. She had never been a school teacher, never had any experience in public school classrooms but her most well-known image is of a maternal figure whose connection to children help make her such a wonderful person. Her advocacy of children's rights and her efforts to provide a better environment for children to have a chance to prosper in is a real legacy. Jane is rarely seen as the sociologist she really was mainly because she was female. Social work was historically dominated by women, and sociologywas created by predominantly men shortly after W.W.I. Most women prior to 1918 were then pushed toward social work and were rarely hired in sociology within universities. Addams disagreed with this patriarchal monopoly. Speculation says this field may have resulted in more professional careers in sociology had Jane been able to support it more. Although she truly loved to learn, she had several reasons to question universities; one of them being their patriarchal attitudes at the time. Although Jane has been labeled a social worker, it is very apparent that she played a large role in sociology. It is difficult to determine where because women were basically discouraged from entering the field. Kasler who studied early German sociologists formed criteria to determine whether or not someone is a sociologist which included: • occupy a chair of sociology or teach it • membership in the German Sociological Society (changed in this case to the American Sociological Society) • co-authorship in sociological articles or textbooks • self-definition as a "sociologists" • definition by others as a sociologists. Jane met all of these requirements. Although the situation and time Addams lived in seemed to be an ailment, it also served as her motivation. Her co-founding of Hull-house, her community involvement, and all her accomplishments were a result of policies and hardships she saw in the world around her. She wanted to address the problems she saw, injustice and war, and do more than just talk about it. She wanted to change it. What made her efforts so effective was the network of associations she made of groups and people who believed and supported her. She withstood the criticisms of the media and her lesbianism and reached out to help people, not worrying about how others viewed her. Today Jane is known as the "Mother" of the social work profession. In celebrating 100 years of the social work profession, Elizabeth Hartley made it clear how the contributions of Jane Addams related to the world of today. As social workers, we have the same motives and values as those that made Addams a paradigm of social work today. She saw injustice, poverty and inequality and acted on it. How different America could be if more people shared this quality. In hindsight, Jane's insistence attempting to obstruct the war may have provided much impetus to garner the labels of socialists or bleeding heart liberals that has so tainted the idea of social work in today's time. But like Addams, social work continues doggedly, uncaring of the view of the world around it.
