Praise for The Selected Papers of Jane Addams Volume 3:“Will become the indispensable work to understand Jane Addams and Hull-House.”—Allen F. Davis, author of American Heroine: The Life and Legend of Jane Addams“Breathtaking in its depth and detail. In this exciting volume, readers meet Addams as she begins her most important life projects: the founding of Hull-House; popularizing pragmatic democracy in a changing world; and her work for peace and international understanding.”—Wendy E. Chmielewski, coeditor of Jane Addams and the Practice of DemocracyPraise for The Selected Papers of Jane Addams Volume 2:“A fascinating collection, illuminating Jane Addams’s transition to an independent adult life dedicated to social reform. The book will be indispensable not only for scholars, but also for teachers and students interested in women's education and for young women on the brink of deciding their own futures.”—Gwendolyn Mink, author of Welfare’s End“I read these volumes with awe.”—Peace & Change
