摘要
From her first glimpse of poverty as a young girl, Jane Addams resolved to find a way to help those who could not help themselves. The first woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Addams is remembered for her work for justice and equality at Hull House and for her contributions to the Progressive movement. This captivating biography tells the compelling life story of the unflagging social reformer.

Gr 5-8-A clearly written, straightforward biography of the social reformer, humanitarian, and winner of the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize. Caravantes chronicles Addams's early years, including the death of her mother when she was two and the teachings of her father, a self-described "Hicksite Quaker" (a follower of Elias Hicks). The lessons she learned regarding personal integrity, charity, and religious tolerance were ones she carried throughout her life. During a trip to Europe as a young woman, she seized upon the idea of a "cathedral of humanity"-a house from which to reach out to the poor. The idea of Hull House was born. The author does a good job of portraying the experiences that laid the groundwork for the remainder of the woman's life. The majority of the book focuses on the building of Hull House in Chicago; Addams's quest for social justice, including her fight against child labor in Illinois; her crusades against corruption in the Chicago Wards; and her involvement in peace and suffragist movements and in the Progressive Party. Archival black-and-white photos, most from the Jane Addams Memorial Collection of the University of Illinois, grace the book. This is a solid addition to women's history collections. Libraries owning Bonnie Carman Harvey's Jane Addams (Enslow, 1999) will want to add this one as well.-Jennifer Ralston, Harford County Public Library, Belcamp, MD (c) Copyright 2010.

Nobel Peace Prize+winner Addams+pacifist, children's and women's rights advocate, founder of Hull House+is profiled in this able if occasionally lacking biography. Great anecdotes (as one about Addams's meeting with Leo Tolstoy) occasionally muscle out basic information (we learn only as an aside that Addams helped found the NAACP in 1909). Black-and-white photos are scattered throughout. Timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
