Jane Addams By: Kendra Kaul

Family Lived in Cedarville, Illinois Mother – Sarah Father – John Brother – John (11) Three sisters – Alice (10), Martha (13), Mary (18)

John Addams

Sarah Addams

After Sarah's death, Jane clung to her father and got along with him very well. This may perhaps be why she identified so strongly with him.  John clung to Jane as well. Out of all the children, she was the one that resembled him the most. Especially in her intellect. She was the brightest out of all his children.  She was greatly influenced by him and wanted to learn more about his political career.  Mary took on the role as the mother and became Jane’s second mother. After Sarah’s Death

Medical History

When Jane was 6 years old, she witnessed another death – her sister Martha. Again, Jane was excluded from the funeral.  At this time, Jane told her father she wanted to help out the poor and live next door to poor families. She realized that she could do this by being a doctor.  At this time, women being doctors was just starting to happen.  To do this, Jane wanted to earn her Bachelor of Arts degree.  This was very uncommon. Most young women did not go beyond high school. Jane – 6 years old

Remarried

Jane and Anna’s Relationship

“College”

Completion of First Year at Rockford

Family Trip

In Philadelphia Jane became very depressed and suffered from a nervous collapse and was hospitalized. This prevented her from completing her medical degree. She saw a doctor who was a specialist in nervous diseases. He had Jane isolated in a white room, banned visitors, books, good food, and writing letters. This lasted four to six weeks. The doctor told Jane and other patients to be less selfish in the future.

Later Jane remembered that “my experience in Philadelphia of trying to fulfill too many objects at once [left me with]… an uneasy consciousness that I had not done what I came purposely to do, because I tried to do something else and failed in that.”

Perspective on Love Her view on love was pessimistic. She wrote, "Love does not beget love, it is apt to produce dislike or what is worse hatred."  The love she admired was a higher form, "Platonic love or rather sacred friendship." Platonic love involved a meeting of souls rather than bodies. 

Marriage Another time she turned down a marriage was when her step-brother George asked.  Stepsiblings did sometimes marry in those days, and Anna was entirely in favor of the idea.  Jane was not in love with him and Anna was furious at Jane for this. After Jane denied the marriage, George's mental state began to deteriorate, and Anna blamed Jane for this. 

Jane’s Surgery

Spring 1887

Toynbee Hall

Returning Back to the States Returning to the States after her long travels in Europe, Jane decided to move to Chicago to begin launching her and Ellen's plan. The plan was based on the Toynbee Hall.

Purpose of the House 1st – provide women and men of their generation, overcultured and isolated in their class, with a way to live up to the high ideals they had been taught.  2nd – repair the damage done to egalitarian social relations by massive industrialization and massive immigration.  Jane's large vision was to create a place that would nurture universal and democratic fellowship among people of all classes.  At this time Chicago had one million people which was the second-largest city in the country.  Jane wanted to cofound the first coeducational settlement house in the world. 

Finding a House

First Impressions of the House The Hull House was the first settlement house in the United States.  One man shook his head and said, "It was the strangest thing he had met in his experience." Small boys threw stones at the Hull mansion and broke windows. People thought she was trying to convert them. After a while necessity and curiosity drew people in.  The working mothers came first and then they started getting volunteers.

Helping Others Jane was always willing to help people out financially. Jane gave money to people she knew needed help with rent, food, and heating bills. She spent a lot of money on the Hull House too. The first years the total amount of the expenses were $8,634. She started getting low on funds herself.  One reason Jane did not hoard her money was her anti-materialism, her belief that matters of the soul were of much greater importance than matters of the body.  Helping Others

Women were more involved in new issues like women's suffrage, new women's organizations that were not limited to single issues, slavery, and Indian removal.  Women lobbied Congress, state legislatures, and city councils on these issues.  This was the first time women had been seen in politics in the history of the world. In Europe in the nineteenth century there were laws prohibiting women and workers from forming organizations or participating in politics.  The powerful optimism about the ability of vote-less women were influencing local and state public policy in the United States.  Political Uprising

Hull House in 1893 The summer of 1893 the Hull House and Jane Addams became famous.  The Hull House was on everyone's list as a place to visit. Residents gave tours of the settlement's three buildings. An art gallery had been built in 1891.  There was a second structure build which they called it the Gymnasium Building.  With the three buildings and twelve residents, including seven men became the largest settlement house in the United States.

Jane and Ellen Ellen did not have as much free time as Jane did and did not take any part in the settlement's management.  Ellen did not have the talent or inclination to run Hull House.  Ellen criticized the Hull House. She only saw the settlements flaws more than its strengths.  Jane and Ellen's friendship changed. They were still good friends but the feeling of special closeness was gone. 

After the Depression of the 1890’s After the depression of the 1890’s the immigration jumped from 3.5 million to 9 million within in that decade. Usually meaning that there is one person from the family that comes over first and does not have the rest of their family. They may be coming over with not very much money.

Jane’s Sister - Mary During the strike, Jane's sister, Mary was very ill.  Mary died from an unidentified illness at age 49.

Hull House - 1901 By 1901, Jane had been living in the Hull House for twelve years.  The settlement house had changed. There was a children's building, where kindergarten, day care programs, and clubs and classes were housed; a cooperative apartment building for workingwomen; and a coffeehouse-theater building.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw4GZeABlNI

William James William James wrote to Jane Addams, "The fact is, Madam, that you are not like the rest of us, who seek the truth and try to express it. You inhabit reality; and when you open your mouth truth can't help being uttered."

Aristotle Roosevelt was running for president and said that, "All of us taken collectively, the people as a whole, must feel our obligation to work by government action... to make the conditions better for those who are unfairly pressed down in the fierce competition of modern industrial life." Jane did not think that Roosevelt could win, but she thought the campaign was valuable because it educated citizens about the issues.  Jane wrote in the Ladies' Home Journal, just before the election, using a Greek philosopher to bolster her case.  Jane Addams wrote, "Aristotle is reportedly to have said that politics is a school wherein questions are studied not for the sake of knowledge, but for the sake of action."

Plato Jane Addams had been a Platonist, a believer in the reality of the ideal since her teens, and seems to have remained one all her life.  She drew on Plato's thought to urge society to help young people deal with sexual urges by sublimating them into love of beauty and broader ideals.  She explained, "The sex impulse does not overflow into neighboring fields of consciousness." "It is neither a short nor an easy undertaking to substitute the love of beauty for mere desire, to place the mind above the senses."

Death On May 15, 1935, Jane felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. A few days later she went into the hospital for surgery. The surgeons found that her lower cavity was riddled with cancer.  Her friends and family did not tell her what the surgeons had learned and a few days after her surgery, on May 21, 1935, at age seventy-four, she died.
