For my assigned blog this week i had Jane Addams. Jane Addams was born in September 16,1860. She died on May 21,1935. Jane Addams worked as a public philosopher, sociologist, author and a leader in Woman Sufferage and World peace. Her Parents were John H. Addams and her Mother was Sarah Weber. Jane Addams was a big difference maker in the society then. Many women looked up to her as she made many differences for them. In 1931 she recieved the Nobel Prize Award, she was the first woman to do so. Jane Addams was the founder of the Hull House,the Hull House was a huge house that welcomed European immigrants that was founded in 1889. By 1911, the hull house had expanded to 13 houses and by 1912 they developed a summer camp called Bowen Country Club. But by 1920 the Hull houses have expanded! Not 100 houses. Not 200 Houses. Not even 400 Houses!! But too 500 houses! Jane Addams never got married. She had a very close "friend", her name was Mary Rozet Smith. But the never held a very serious relationship they just a romatic one and by the definition the online gave me a romatic relationship is just refers to very close but non-sexual relationship and at times physical relationship between friends, often involving a degree of physical closeness beyond that which is common in modern western societies, and may include for example holding hands, cuddling, kissing, and sharing a bed. (the online resource i got this from is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romantic_friendship). She held a great part in being involved in the Women's Peace Party. This party was women came together to make a difference in the problems around. In 1915 the name got changed to Womens International league for peace and freedom.
