She explains that she could not play with other children often due to a limp, a side effect to her illnesses. Still, she is able to provide relatable and even amusing childhood anecdotes. \u003cb\u003e Addams\u003c\/b\u003e was very close to her father. She admired him for his political work, which likely inspired her own interest and attention to the social problems of her society. In a time invested with xenophobia and cruelty towards immigrants, \u003cb\u003eAddams\u003c\/b\u003e bought land in Chicago and co-founded a settlement house named Hull House.

Though originally published in 1910, \u003cb\u003eAddams\u003c\/b\u003e autobiography provides social discourse that is not only still relevant, but also considered radical by some. \u003cb\u003eAddams'\u003c\/b\u003e autobiography was well received when it was first released, impacting many key reform movements. \u003ci\u003eTwenty Years at Hull House \u003c\/i\u003e still carries that effect today, inspiring its readers to improve their community and advocate for those in need. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This edition of \u003ci\u003eTwenty Years at Hull House\u003c\/i\u003e by \u003cb\u003eJane Addams\u003c\/b\u003e features a new, eye-catching cover design and is printed in a readable font, ready to inspire readers to follow the footsteps and musings of activist \u003cb\u003eJane Addams.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From a sickly childhood to invaluable social work and advocacy, Jane Addams spent a lifetime making her community better, and giving opportunities to those who had not often been afforded them.
