Some of Jane Austen's hobbies are: dancing and partying, hanging out with friends and camping. The other hobbies include going to places and shopping.
Jane Addams was not overtly religious. She held membership at a Presbyterian church in Chicago, however she most frequently attended a Unitarian one. Some of Addams' famous quotes are criticism of religion-based oppression of women.
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.
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.
Jane Addams' philosophy toward working with the poor emphasized a holistic, community-based approach rather than simply addressing immediate needs through charity or reforms. While many Progressive Era reformers focused on top-down solutions and institutional changes, Addams advocated for empowering the poor through education, social interaction, and collaboration, exemplified by her establishment of Hull House in Chicago. She believed in understanding the complexities of poverty and fostering relationships between social classes, which contrasted with the more paternalistic attitudes of some of her contemporaries.
Jane Addams' settlement house movement in Chicago aimed to address the social and economic challenges faced by immigrant communities and the urban poor. Key goals included providing educational opportunities, advocating for social reform, and promoting community integration through cultural and recreational programs. The Hull House, founded by Addams in 1889, served as a model for these efforts, offering services such as childcare, vocational training, and health care to empower residents and foster a sense of community. Ultimately, the movement sought to improve living conditions and encourage civic engagement among marginalized populations.
She had some form of cancer.

She succumbed to some form of Cancer. her viewing was held at one of the parlors of the Hull House.
She opened a settlement house to help immigrants and working families
While in a sense global in scope ( l93l Nobel Peace Laureate) the humanitarian Jane Addams confined most of her activities to the Chicago area where she superintended the noted settlement house ( still extant)- Hull House. She did not built or design the house- which was previously existing as some commercial structure.
It has been established she died of some form of cancer in l935, Her funeral and viewing were held at one of the parlors of the Hull House, which is certainly fitting.

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.
Some of Jane Addams' notable books include "Twenty Years at Hull-House," "Democracy and Social Ethics," and "Newer Ideals of Peace." These works explore themes related to social reform, democracy, and peace-building.
