Jane Addams:
Jane Addams was born in Ilinois (The USA) in 1860. She was a social worker, pacifist, writer and sociologist. When she was a child she had a dream: to do something valuable in the world. She is probably best known as a co-founder of Hull House in Chicago, one of the first social settlements in North America.
Her most famous books are:
- Twenty Years at Hull House (1910)

Hull House
In 1887 Jane read an article about creating a social settlement. So she decided to visit the first settlement in the world, which was in London. In 1989, she co-founded Hull House with her friend Ellen Gates Starr. It was the first social settlement in the United States. It was also a centre where poor people received training and social benefits. Furthermore, it was used as a sociological institution for women.
