SPEAKER_00: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Encyclopedia Wamanica. If you've been listening for a while, you know that on Encyclopedia Wamanica, we're making every month Women's History Month. But in honor of March, the official Women's History Month, we're dedicating the whole month to talking about feminists, women who fought for gender equity. We have a bunch of really exciting content planned, so stay tuned to the end of the episode and we'd love to hear more. Our woman of the day was an activist and reformer who pioneered the field of social work, contributed to the study of sociology, and advocated for the inclusion of women in the public sphere. She was a suffragist and philosopher who co-founded the ACLU and was the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Let's talk about Jane Addams. Jane was born on September 6th, 1860, in Cedarville, Illinois. She was the second youngest of nine children in a very prominent family. Her father was successful and had friends in high places, including Abraham Lincoln. Jane's mother passed away when Jane was just two years old. From an early age, Jane was determined to do something to make a difference in the world. She attended Rockford Female Seminary and graduated in 1881. After that, she decided she wanted to become a doctor to help serve the needs of the poor. Jane attended one year of medical school at the University of Pennsylvania before dropping out due to illness. Her career in medicine was dead, but Jane's desire for mission-driven work was still kicking. It was an era of social reform and activism. In 1889, Jane and her friend Ellen Gates Starr decided to visit a settlement house in London called Toynbee Hall. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, settlement houses were created by people who offered educational services and attempted to combat poverty, particularly in neighborhoods with high immigrant populations in industrial cities. These centers provided space for people from very different backgrounds to interact and exchange ideas. As such, settlement houses were breeding grounds for new social reforms. Jane and Ellen were so inspired by Toynbee Hall that they decided to create their own settlement house called Hull House in Chicago's West Side. Hull House provided lots of different services to people in the industrial neighborhood, including adult education and job training, kindergarten and daycare, job placement, acculturation classes, and cooking. There was a community center, an art gallery, and a gym. With the success of Hull House under her belt, Jane became a very active and well-known speaker and reformer for a wide variety of causes. She successfully called for a juvenile court system, lobbied for better sanitation and factory laws, and advocated for labor reforms. At the core of her work was the desire to improve the lots of women and children. At the University of Chicago, Jane helped to establish a school of social work and thereby opened a new career field predominantly served by women. She also made significant contributions to the academic field of sociology and was a charter member of the American Sociological Society. In an essay entitled Utilization of Women in City Government, Jane compared the government to a household. She argued that certain functions of the government fell under the traditional women's sphere. She said women have more knowledge and ability to make decisions on things like sanitation and educating children and should therefore be given the right to vote. Jane was an officer in the National American Women's Suffrage Association and was one of the founders of the NAACP. Jane was also an avowed pacifist. When World War I began, Jane attempted to convince President Woodrow Wilson to serve as mediator for the warring factions. That obviously didn't work out. When the US entered the conflict, Jane protested and was branded a dangerous radical. Jane traveled to the warring nations with a group of fellow protesters in an attempt to bring peace. At the end of the war, Jane argued that the 1919 peace treaty was so harsh on Germany that it would lead to another war. Her prediction proved savvy. That same year, Jane helped found the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. She was president of the organization until 1929, an honorary president for the rest of her life. In 1920, Jane also helped to found the American Civil Liberties Union. In 1931, Jane was the first woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for her work promoting world peace. Four years later, on May 21st, 1935, she died. She was 74 years old. Jane Addams' legacy lives on in the fields, policies, and reforms she helped to shape. As promised at the beginning of this episode, here's a little more information about what you'll be hearing on Encyclopedia Wamanica for the rest of March. This month, we'll be focusing on feminists from throughout history. We've covered feminists in every theme so far. What differentiates this month is that we'll be looking at women who are particularly important to the women's rights movement, the suffrage movement, and or modern feminism and feminist theory. This month's group is not an exhaustive list by any means. We're sticking to a smaller time range in our regular weekday episodes so that we can really focus in. On weekends, we're gonna be highlighting favorite feminists from past months chosen by other podcast hosts we love. And we'll be talking about modern feminists, brought to you by our sponsor this month, Fiverr. This month of Encyclopedia Wamanica is brought to you by Fiverr, an online marketplace connecting businesses with freelancers who offer hundreds of digital services, including graphic design, copywriting, web programming, film editing, and more.
