About This Item
Philadelphia, PA, U.S.A: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2003. First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. A biography of Jane Addams that challenges the received image of America's premier pacifist and urban reformer; the author argues for a careful re-examination of the evidence of Addams' life that realistically embeds her experience in a particular set of gender, class, and emotional constraints; based on a wealth of family letters, she demonstrates the psychological, social, political, religious, and intellectual processes that formed the person who was Jane Addams; in this account, Addams emerges as a complicated, determined young woman who fashioned a vibrant civic career after casting off fantasies of individual heroism and merged her personal ambitions with the Progressive era's collective struggle for democracy (gray cloth with gold lettering; pictorial dust jacket with photograph of Addams on the front cover)
