Jane Addams and the Dream of American Democracy Paperback - 2002

by Jean Bethke Elshtain


From the publisher

In this eagerly anticipated interpretation of the life and work of quintessential "public intellectual" Jane Addams (1860-1935), Jean Bethke Elshtain explores Addams's legacy thematically and chronologically, recounting her embrace of "social feminism," her challenge to the usual cleavage between "conservative" and "liberal," and the growth of Chicago's famed Hull House into a thriving cultural and intellectual center. Jane Addams and the Dream of American Democracy is a rich and revealing portrait of one of the most extraordinary figures in American history.

First line

JANE ADDAMS LIVED A quintessentially public life; there are no mysterious lost periods in her story.
