Edith Abbott

Edith Abbott was born on September 26, 1876 in Grand Island, Nebraska, into a politically and socially active Nebraskan family. After receiving a degree at the University of Nebraska, Edith attended the University of Chicago on a fellowship to study political economy. In 1905, she obtained her doctoral degree and spent multiple years at the University College London studying social economics and welfare. She returned to the United States to continue a successful career of teaching and researching social welfare alongside Grace Abbott, Sophonisba Breckinridge, and other women at Jane Addams’ Hull House. Abbott’s work focused on social statistics as a methodology to look critically at women’s rights, child labor, immigration, and public welfare. She was promoted to Dean of the University of Chicago’s School of Social Service Administration in 1924, and held that position until retiring in 1942.

Mary McDowell

Mary McDowell, born on November 20, 1854, was involved in relief and aid in Chicago for the entirety of her career, beginning with the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. After teaching kindergarten at Hull House under the supervision of Jane Addams, McDowell opened the Chicago Settlement House in 1894 where she improved living conditions and educational opportunities for immigrant families. She later became interested in waste disposal programs, earning the nickname “The Garbage Lady.” After a successful career, McDowell retired at 75 and later died in 1936.

Louise deKoven Bowen

Louise deKoven Bowen was born on February 26, 1859 in Chicago, Illinois. She became involved at Hull House during its early years in 1983 and later became an officer and trustee of the settlement house. Perhaps her most significant legacy from her time at Hull House is her development of the Bowen Country Club, a summer camp for the underprivileged children of Hull House. Though she was mostly active in improving conditions for children and immigrants, Bowen also took part in the suffragette movement and fought to extend the limits of a woman’s role in the church system. She became president of the Hull House association after Jane Addams’ death in 1935 and remained socially and politically active until her death at 94 years old.

Jane Addams

Jane Addams was born on September 6, 1860 in Cedarville, Illinois in a wealthy family. She received the bachelor's degree from Rockford College for Women in 1882. She studied medicine at the Woman's Medical College of Philadelphia, but completed only one year due to her poor health. Inspired from her visit to Toynbee Hall, a settlement house in London, she co-founded Hull House with Ellen Gates Starr in 1889 to help immigrants in Chicago. Addams was actively engaged in woman suffrage and international peace movement serving as an officer in the National American Woman's Suffrage Association and leading organizations such as Women's Peace Party, the International Congress of Women and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 71. Addams died of cancer in 1935.
