  • Segment 10-3.Pub
    Please note: Each segment in this Webisode has its own Teaching Guide Jane Addams spearheaded a movement to improve the lives of poor immigrant workers. On September 8, 1889, she founded Hull House in the middle of Chicago’s worst immigrant slum. The social settlement house (similar to today’s community center) served a residential and industrial neighborhood of predominately Russian and Polish Jews, Italians, Irish, Germans, Greeks, and Bohemians. With the opening of Hull House, Addams and her fellow activists forged a powerful reform movement. They lived at Hull House to better understand the problems of the poor and fulfill Addams’ mission of “neighbors helping neighbors.” From Hull House they offered hot lunches, kindergarten and child care services for working mothers, tutoring in English, an employment bureau, an art gallery, libraries, music and art classes, and social events. By 1900, Hull House activities broadened to include a cooperative residence for working women, the first little theatre in America, a labor museum, and a meeting place for trade union groups. Following the Hull House example, community centers and settlement houses opened in other cities. Hull House became the meeting place for like-minded intellectuals and social reformers, many of whom came to learn from Addams’ work. Perhaps the most prominent woman of her time, Jane Addams of Hull House epitomized the social and political reform spirit of Progressivism through her settlement work, her writing, and her international efforts for world peace.

ALICE HAMILTON: THE MAKING OF A FEMINIST-PRAGMATIST RHETOR by VICKI J. MCCOY Under the Direction of James F. Darsey ABSTRACT Dr. Alice Hamilton (1869-1970), the leading American figure in industrial medicine during the early to mid-1900s, left behind a body of rhetoric that is important in the history of American feminist discourse and American public address. Her discourse is the exemplary of feminist-pragmatist rhetoric, a genre of cross-gender communication developed by New Women associated with Hull House and the University of Chicago between 1892 and 1918. Hamilton’s rhetoric illuminates a key event in the history of the American rhetorical tradition—the emergence of the modern woman from her late- Victorian beginnings through her Progressive self-transformation. This study is approached as a rhetorical biography. It tracks Hamilton’s evolution from “reticent scientist” to outspoken feminist-pragmatist by examining family, educational, peer and social influences on her development; and through critical analysis of her speeches, technical writing, books, and popular and specialty magazine articles over a 36-year period, from 1907 to 1943.

Washington University Law Review VOLUME 90 NUMBER 5 2013 BLACKNESS AS DELINQUENCY CHERYL NELSON BUTLER ABSTRACT This is one of the first law review article to analyze both the role of ―blackness‖ in shaping the first juvenile court and the black community’s response to the court’s jurisprudence. This Article breaks new ground on two fronts. First, it considers the first juvenile court’s treatment of black youth within the context of the heightened racial oppression immediately following the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Plessy v. Ferguson. Second, this Article recovers the lost story of the black women’s club movement’s response to race issues within the juvenile court movement. In doing so, this Article reconsiders the history of the national black women’s club movement within a new framework—that of black women as advocates for juvenile and criminal justice reform. Furthermore, a major issue that these child savers faced remains one that scholars of the juvenile court’s early history have not fully explored: race.

    Domesticated Democracy? Labor Rights at Home in Lima and New York City By Katherine Eva Maich A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Raka Ray, Chair Professor Kim Voss Professor Laura Enriquez Professor Jonathan Simon Summer 2017 Domesticated Democracy? Labor Rights at Home in Lima and New York City ã 2017 by Katherine Eva Maich All Rights Reserved Abstract Domesticated Democracy? Labor Rights at Home in Lima and New York City By Katherine Eva Maich Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Raka Ray, Chair Domestic workers’ struggles for labor rights—both historically and currently—draw attention to the private sphere of the home as an unregulated site of gendered and racialized labor that has often been overlooked across historical moments and economic configurations. Usually performed by indigenous and immigrant women, domestic work tends to be undervalued via a lack of prestige, respect, labor protections, and sufficient pay, though it remains socially necessary work within the global economy. Yet the privacy of the home often masks the social relations of intimacy, power, love, and exploitation that take place inside of it, as domestic workers reproduce family life and the ideologies of home by cleaning, cooking, and caring for those who live there. This dissertation builds upon a large multidisciplinary body of scholarship that has focused on the intersectional inequalities of class, caste, gender, race, and ethnicity embedded within domestic employer-worker relationship in varying contexts, and yet has failed to fully theorize how those relationships change when legally regulated, and in what ways those laws then shape anew the household.

  • Jane Addams' Theory of Democracy and Social Ethics
    © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC. NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION Chapter 2 Jane Addams’ Theory of Democracy and Social Ethics: Incorporating a Feminist Perspective1 Patricia M. Shields Key Terms Participatory democracy Pragmatism Scientifi c attitude Social claim Sympathetic understanding Introduction This chapter uses the lenses of feminism to theorize about public administration and democracy. Just as the term “feminism” has many perspectives (Hutchinson, 2005), democracy and its meanings are complex and multifaceted. There are also, perhaps, many democracies. We are used to treating the term “democracy” from a political perspec- tive. Representative democracy and the rule of law are common traits associated with political democracy. Aside from the political sphere, where Addams was legally barred from participation, she also articulated and helped to create social and economic democ- racies (Deegan, 1990, p. 276). Robert Westbrook (1991, p. xv) describes a cynical view of liberal democracy: [T]he provision of a minimal level of welfare to every member of a society through a corporate capitalist economy regulated by a centralized state directed by admin- istrative experts, which even when it works betrays an identifi cation of the good with the goods. In this view, public administration represents the world of practice and fi eld of study that is the training ground for the “administrative experts” that direct the capitalist corporate state. In contrast, the democracy of Addams and Dewey calls upon women and men to 15 77258_CH02_DAgostino.indd 15 8/23/2010 10:22:44 AM © Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC.

Each chapter is a series of period style drawings with captions detailing the story of that particular incident and cartoon balloons offering humorous comments from the participants. The document contains 83 chapters and covers the role of the woman worker from the first strike of factory workers in the United States, in 1824 at Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the site of the first successful water powered cotton mill, to the New Deal legislation of 1933. Some of the lessons are parts of a series. In this case the lesson is extended over several of the one page chapters. Each of these specifies that it is part of a longer series. One of these is a section on a strike by women, children, and immigrant workers in the international textile industry center of Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1912. Individuals such as labor organizers Mary Kenney O'Sullivan and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn are profiled.

Women have influenced religious, educational, and health care institutions; businesses; and activist and service organizations. With Hull-House as a reference point, the tour also highlights changes in the ethnic composition of the neighborhood—from Germans, Irish, and Bohemian groups being replaced by Eastern European Jews and Italians, followed by African Americans and Mexicans. Founded by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr, in 1889, Hull-House was a social settlement whose residents sought to learn from and improve the living conditions of immigrants on the impoverished and crowded West Side. The settlement offered a wide array of services and classes. Residents, who paid room and board to live and do volunteer work at Hull-House, experimented with programs and joined others locally and nationally to promote social reforms through legislation and direct action. Although the Hull-House Association continues today, its heyday was the Progressive Era, which ended with World War I. The original Hull Mansion (1856) and the Residents’ Dining Hall (1907) are all that remain of the thirteen-building settlement complex along Halsted Street, Ewing, and Polk streets. They comprise the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, which is part of the University of Illinois at Chicago.

  • In Pursuit of Justice: the Scholar-Activism of Feminist Settlement Workers in the Progressive Era (1890-1920S) 1
    In Pursuit of Justice: The Scholar-Activism of Feminist Settlement Workers in the Progressive Era (1890-1920s) 1 In Pursuit of Justice: The Scholar-Activism of Feminist Settlement Workers in the Progressive Era (1890-1920s) By Joyce E. Williams and Vicky M. MacLean Abstract In this paper we address the scholar-activism of some Progressive Era (1890-1920s) women who pursued social justice causes in the U.S. through their work in social settlements. As cases in point we review some of their participatory research and advocacy for workplace policies and environmental practices to improve the lives of working women, children, the poor, and immigrants of the period. The scholar-activism of the progressive era women was characterized by critical feminist pragmatism, standpoint epistemology, multiculturalism, and interdisciplin-arity as reflected in the social settlement work of Jane Addams, Florence Kelley, Alice Hamilton, and Mary McDowell among others. The successes of these women can be seen in state and federal labor legislative reforms, child labor laws, union activities, environmentalism, and increased public consciousness. The scholar- activism of women in the social settlements offers important lessons from the past for social democratic change today. Keywords: feminist pragmatism, public feminism, standpoint epistemology, interdisciplinarity, social justice, environmental justice, workplace justice. Introduction new and interdisciplinary methodologies that yielded facts; in public education; in unionizing workers; With today’s twenty-four hour news, augmented by in drafting legislation and securing its passage. We social media, we are constantly aware of threats to our focus on two interrelated areas of activity that resulted comfort zone and to our sense of justice: democratic in improved quality of life in early cities and laid institutions under assault, hate crimes on the increase, a foundation for a more just society: labor-related a growing gap between rich and poor, climate change problems and environmental justice.
