When did Jane Addams go to toynbee hall?

Jane Addams first visited Toynbee Hall, the world's first settlement house, which is located in the East End of London, in July, 1888. She had hoped to visit with her friend Ellen Gates Starr. Starr had agreed to help Addams co-found a settlement house in Chicago. In the spring of 1888 they were traveling together in Europe. But Starr was earning some of the money she needed to travel by chaperoning some students from the girls' school in Chicago where she was a teacher. In July she needed to be with the students in Italy. Addams planned to stay in London, however, and to visit Toynbee Hall again when Starr could join her, later in the summer. But that plan did not happen either. Addams's stepbrother, George Haldeman, was suffering from some sort of mental challenge. That summer, he wandered away from home and no one could find him. His mother -- Addams's stepmother -- was frantic, and Addams's sister Alice thought Addams should come back early from Europe because of the crisis. Addams departed London before Starr arrived.


Why did Jane Addams get surgery?

Obviously she had some sort of medical problem which needed attention. It has been argued that some sort of health problem or handicap- never directly stated may have indirectly propelled her into the social services arena which was to be her main line of work, to put it mildly. Exactly what this handicap or illness was was never made public . It was NOT visual impairment, she did not wear eyeglasses, except maybe for reading.

What are some famous Jane Addams quotes?

Here are some that I found useful, and I like. ; ) • Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt. • Social advance depends as much upon the process through which it is secured as upon the result itself. • I do not believe that women are better than men. We have not wrecked railroads, nor corrupted legislature, nor done many unholy things that men have done; but then we must remember that we have not had the chance. • National events determine our ideals, as much as our ideals determine national events. • America's future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live. • Unless our conception of patriotism is progressive, it cannot hope to embody the real affection and the real interest of the nation. • The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself.

Did Jane Addams get married with a woman?

Jane Addams' parents were Sarah and John H. Addams. Jane's mother died when she was 2 and her father later married Jane's step-mother Anna Haldeman. Jane had 8 siblings: Mary Catherine, Georgiana, Martha, John, Sarah Alice, Horace, George, and a younger sister whose stillbirth precipitated her mother's death (Georgiana, Horace and George also died in early childhood). Jane also had 4 step-brothers: Henry, George, John and William Haldeman (John and William also died in early childhood). Jane Addams' life partner was a woman by the name of Mary Rozet Smith. In letters, Jane described herself and Mary as married to each other. The pair met in 1890 and eventually bought a home together in Bar Harbor, Maine. During their relationship, Mary performed all the usual functions of a traditional wife for Jane, and they did not part until Mary's death in 1933. Before Jane died she burned many of her letters from Mary, therefore the exact nature of their companionship is unknown.
