Middle-class women became involved in the settlement house movement as a response to the social challenges posed by rapid urbanization and industrialization in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They sought to address issues such as poverty, education, and public health in immigrant and low-income communities, believing that their skills and resources could help improve living conditions. This involvement also provided them with a platform to engage in social reform, expand their roles beyond traditional domestic spheres, and advocate for women's rights and social justice. Ultimately, the movement allowed them to combine their philanthropic efforts with a desire for personal empowerment and societal change.

The settlement movement was a reformist social movement, beginning in the 1880s and peaking around the 1920s in England and the US, with a goal of getting the rich and poor in society to live more closely together in an interdependent community. Its main object was the establishment of "settlement houses" in poor urban areas, in which volunteer middle-class "settlement workers" would live, hoping to share knowledge and culture with, and alleviate the poverty of, their low-income neighbors. The "settlement houses" provided services such as daycare, education, and healthcare to improve the lives of the poor in these areas.
