  • Jane Addams, a Member of Chicago AAUW
    Chicago Branch AAUW Celebrates the Life of Our Illustrious Member Jane Addams From THE FIRST FIFTY YEARS (1889 – 1939) by Janet Miller Prepared for the AAUW Chicago Branch Centennial October, 1889 In 1892, the Branch had over 100 members, ranking in size behind only Boston and Philadelphia. At the December 1892 meeting, Bertha Honoré Palmer spoke on the Columbian Exposition and the Executive Committee agreed to aid in “scientific research work” and assist with guides for the Exposition, for which it received a diploma and a medal of appreciation. Along with other women’s organizations, the Branch exhibited materials at the Exposition. At the same meeting the question of supporting a Hull House resident was raised. In January 1893, the Branch voted to support a Hull House fellow, with the selection to be made by Jane Addams, who was a Branch member and a Branch Committee [Chair]. Illinois born Julia Lathrop, a close associate of Addams, was selected. Julia Lathrop is best known for her local, state and national reform of hospitals, schools and mental institutions and her work with juveniles and immigrants in Chicago. The Branch did much to aid her early work and the work of other members of the Hull House group. In December 1893, Florence Kelley, also a Hull House resident and chief inspector of factories in Illinois, spoke on The Formation of a Purchaser’s League to Protect Women and Children. An “earnest discussion” followed Kelley’s presentation and “the formation of such a league was urged by all.” The minutes continue: It was suggested by members that a committee should be appointed from the A.C.A and that this committee with other committees appointed should correspond with the large stores and ascertain where their goods are made.

EDITH ABBOTT (1876-1957) Abbott was the first woman dean of a graduate school in an American university and, simultaneously, the first dean of the first graduate school of social work in the nation. Her leading role in social work overshadowed her deep roots in sociology, in which she was a major scholar of her day. She was a prolific author (Marks 1958) and specialized in the study of women's rights and wages. Her life was dedicated to the eradication of social inequality facing blacks, immi­ grants, people in poverty, and laborers.
