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.

Hull House

Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr founded Hull House in 1889. Inspired by Toynbee Hall in London, Hull House began with outreach programs for the large immigrant population in the South side of Chicago, Illinois. Over the years, the scope of programs offered expanded widely, and Hull House attracted numerous experts in the American social work field. Hull House residents conducted research and fought for social reform in the United States. At its height, Hull House included about a dozen buildings; today, the only remaining building is the original house opened by Jane Addams.

Sophonisba Breckinridge

Shophonisba Breckinridge was born on April 1, 1866 in Lexington Kentucky to a prominent family. After passing the Kentucky bar exam, Breckinridge moved to Chicago to earn her Ph.D. in political science and economics. She then became an instructor and researcher of social reform and immigrant rights at the University of Chicago before becoming involved at Jane Addams’ Hull House where she met and began a collaborative relationship with Edith Abbott. Together, Abbott and Breckinridge established the Wendell Phillips Settlement House as well as the Social Service Review scholarly journal. Throughout her career, Breckinridge devoted her time to improving labor conditions, immigrant rights, women’s suffrage, and creating child labor laws before passing away at the age of 82.

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.
