Jane Addams

Just to give a brief recap on Jane Addams, she was the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize and she was well known for her social work and pacifism. She founded the first settlement in the United States, the Hull House, which served to provide services for immigrants and underprivileged people in Chicago. She focused her efforts on providing relief and support for those in need, as well as on spreading her message of pacifism. She helped found many other organizations, such as the NAACP and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. If you want to read more, here are two links: Nobel Peace Prize Hull House
