The Second Twenty Years at Hull-House

"The Second Twenty Years at Hull-House, September 1909 to September 1929, With a Record of a Growing World Consciousness" is a profound autobiographical account by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jane Addams. Continuing the narrative of her pioneering work in Chicago's West Side, this volume chronicles the maturation of the settlement house movement and its intersection with the tumultuous events of the early twentieth century.

Addams explores a wide range of social and political issues, including the struggle for women's suffrage, the challenges of immigration, and the burgeoning labor movement. Beyond local reform, the work provides an intimate look at Addams' evolving "world consciousness," documenting her courageous advocacy for internationalism and pacifism during the Great War. Readers will find insightful reflections on the development of social work as a profession and the ongoing pursuit of social justice.

A vital historical document, this book offers a first-hand perspective on the Progressive Era through the eyes of one of its most influential figures. It remains an essential read for those interested in sociology, women's history, and the origins of modern humanitarian efforts.
