Small but important note: like many reformers of her era, some of Addams’ views and methods are debated today. We can honor her impact on justice and social work and hold space for critical reflection about the limits of her time.

Jane Addams fought for immigrant families, child labor laws, women’s suffrage, public health, and world peace. Her work helped shape social work as a profession and pushed the idea that dignity, education, and safety should belong to everyone, not just the wealthy.

Black-and-white photograph of Jane Addams standing on the deck of a ship, facing the camera. She wears a dark coat with a fur collar and cuffs, a cloche-style hat, and light-colored gloves that she holds in one hand along with a small handbag. The background is slightly foggy with railings and a blurred building behind her.
