NOTES

For biographies of Jane Addams, see especially Elshtain, Dream of American Democracy; Brown, Education of Jane Addams; and Knight, Jane Addams. For analyses of Addams’s thought and importance, see especially Fischer, Nackenoff, and Chmielewski, Jane Addams and Democracy; Hamington, Social Philosophy of Jane Addams; and Schneiderhan, Size of Others’ Burdens.

1.On the practical work and politics of the “garbage wars,” see especially Knight, “Garbage and Democracy.”

2.Addams, Democracy and Social Ethics, 120.

3.Addams, Twenty Years at Hull-House, 77–78.

4.Knight, Citizen, 190. How deeply Addams held her faith is a matter of some scholarly debate. It seems safe to say, however, that Addams’s religious beliefs and practices, like everything else about her, continued to develop over the course of her life. Though she rarely discussed her own faith and had relatively low attachment to the Presbyterian Church or any particular congregation, she never publicly distanced herself from Christianity, and she used Christian ideals and concepts throughout her public career. See especially Stebner, “Theology of Jane Addams”; and Brown, “Sermon of the Deed,” 21–39.

9.See especially Elshtain, Dream of American Democracy. Addams did help to raise a niece and nephew after their mother died, and she had many important relationships with many other children. Though she never married, she had a lifelong romantic friendship with Mary Rozet Smith, a Hull House supporter. See Knight, “Love on Halsted Street,” 181–200.

17.Ibid., 93. Interestingly, she made the same argument about child labor in chapter 5 of The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets. This chapter exemplifies Addams’s pragmatism; she almost certainly would have preferred that fourteen-year-old children be in school rather than in factories, but she knew that the practical realities of many poor families required that even young children work. She acknowledged this reality and insisted that, for example, a child in a sewing factory be taught that “the design she is elaborating in its historic relation to art and decoration if she understands “her daily life is lifted from the drudgery to one of self-conscious activity, and her pleasure and intelligence is registered in her product.” Addams, Spirit of Youth, 122.

18.Addams, Newer Ideals, 79. Addams also made the connection between her neighborhood and international conflict in The Second Twenty Years at Hull House, which argued that her settlement’s story could not be told apart from the story of World War II: “It is idle to speculate on what an infinitesimal unit like Hull-House or any
