Title A name given to the resource Reform (Social or Labor) Description An account of the resource The reform collection highlights those women who dared to influence labor changes to expand worker control over their conditions or who dared to reform society in a positive manner. In the United States, women have historically been major contributors to the great reform movements. Although their work is not given as much credit as those of their male counterparts, it was women who did much of the grassroots campaigning for universal suffrage, abolition of slavery, labor legislation, prison reform, social welfare programs, asylum reform, religious freedom, peace programs, and universal education. This collection then highlights the work of some of those activists and encourages us to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1860 Birthplace Cedarville, Illinois, USA Death Date 1935 Occupation Social worker Biographical Text Born Laura Jane Addams, she was the first American woman to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, which she was given in 1931. She was best known for her reform efforts, and for being a pioneer in social work. She was also a feminist who took part in the women’s suffrage movement urging politicians to grant women the vote. Addams, with Ellen Gates Starr, started the settlement house movement, which emphasized cultural connections and education. Hull House, Addams' Chicago settlement house, attempted to keep families and communities safe by providing a place for civic, cultural, recreational, and educational activities. Hull House drew noted lecturers and was the center of social reform activity. The Hull House group (including Florence Kelley and Julia Lathrop) became involved in local and state campaigns for better housing, public welfare programs, child labor laws, and labor legislation for women. Deemed by historians as Progressives, these women greatly influenced their municipalities and labor legislation as a whole.
