In the early 20th century, Jane Addams was among the most famous women in America. The Chicagoan worked, lived and loved on Halsted Street in the Hull-House settlement she co-founded with Ellen Gates Starr. Her career was one of struggle and triumph as she organized, fought for social services on behalf of immigrants, children, women and other disenfranchised groups. At one point the FBI considered her “the most dangerous woman in America.” In 1931 she became the first woman to earn the Nobel Peace Prize. Addams passed away in 1935. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Addams en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_House
