Jane Adams was a sociologist and key advocate of women suffrage and women empowerment. At a tender age, she had tuberculosis of the spine, and this affected her mobility. This caused low self esteem as she felt ugly. She overcome this during her late teen years, and had corrective surgery. Jane was disgusted by the unsanitary conditions in the city that led to the spread of typhoid fever and other infections. She struggled to bring sanitary reforms during the famous 'garbage wars'. Jane also advocated for women to vote and vie for elective posts in the municipal council. The women would scale up their efficient house keeping skills in the council.
