Edith Abbott

Edith Abbott was born on September 26, 1876 in Grand Island, Nebraska, into a politically and socially active Nebraskan family. After receiving a degree at the University of Nebraska, Edith attended the University of Chicago on a fellowship to study political economy. In 1905, she obtained her doctoral degree and spent multiple years at the University College London studying social economics and welfare. She returned to the United States to continue a successful career of teaching and researching social welfare alongside Grace Abbott, Sophonisba Breckinridge, and other women at Jane Addams’ Hull House. Abbott’s work focused on social statistics as a methodology to look critically at women’s rights, child labor, immigration, and public welfare. She was promoted to Dean of the University of Chicago’s School of Social Service Administration in 1924, and held that position until retiring in 1942.

Evelyn "Evie" Julia Boone Tate Shankle

Evelyn "Eva/Evie" Shankle was born in 1868. She operated the Willard Industrial School in Landrum S.C. Shankle opened the school in 1909 with the intention of providing education and assistance to area children. Children who lived too far away to attend day school were allowed to board at the school to have access to an education. The Willard School was funded by donations and Shankle gave speeches and wrote letters to solicit funds. Jane Addams was a patroness the the school and one of the buildings was named in her honor.

Jane Addams

Jane Addams was born on September 6, 1860 in Cedarville, Illinois in a wealthy family. She received the bachelor's degree from Rockford College for Women in 1882. She studied medicine at the Woman's Medical College of Philadelphia, but completed only one year due to her poor health. Inspired from her visit to Toynbee Hall, a settlement house in London, she co-founded Hull House with Ellen Gates Starr in 1889 to help immigrants in Chicago. Addams was actively engaged in woman suffrage and international peace movement serving as an officer in the National American Woman's Suffrage Association and leading organizations such as Women's Peace Party, the International Congress of Women and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 71. Addams died of cancer in 1935.
