From the foreword: Nearly 81 years ago, Hannah G. Solomon organized a highly-motivated nucleus of 95 women from 29 cities. The Congress of Jewish Women evolved into the National Council of Jewish Women a year later. It was an era of change, but social progress lagged far behind accelerating technological advances. Hannah Solomon led Council women into programs of aid to destitute immigrant families; promotion of child labor laws and public health regulations; and the furtherance of Jewish education and culture. From the website of the Jewish Women's Archive: 'Hannah Greenebaum Solomon dared to go out into the world and establish the first national association of Jewish women. A superb organizer, Solomon emphasized unity, and orchestrated agreements among Jewish, gentile, and government groups on local, national, and international levels. Solomon was not only the celebrated founder of the National Council of Jewish Women, but also an important force for reform in turn-of-the-century Chicago. Her work grew out of her sense that "woman's sphere is the whole wide world." But at the same time she believed a woman's primary responsibility was to her family. For Solomon, there was no more powerful role than that of the Jewish mother.' .
