    Jane Addams Exiting Mercy Hospital, 1912

    $19.95

    This photograph captures Jane Addams, a prominent social reformer and pacifist, as she exits Mercy Hospital in October 1912. Addams co-founded Hull House in Chicago, one of the nation’s most renowned settlement houses aimed at addressing the needs of immigrants and the urban poor. Through her work, she championed social justice, womens suffrage, and labor rights, becoming a pivotal figure in the American progressive movement.

    Mercy Hospital, where Addams is seen, was established in 1852 to care for the needs of the poor in Chicago. It played a vital role in the city’s healthcare system, especially for underserved communities. During this time, Addams was deeply involved in various civic initiatives, advocating for improved sanitation, education, and welfare systems. Her efforts had a lasting impact on public policy and social work in America.

    The photograph serves as a historical record of Addams’ dedication to community service and her unwavering commitment to social reform. It encapsulates a moment in her life when she was actively shaping policies that would impact countless lives. Addams’ influence continues to be felt today, as her legacy inspires social workers and activists around the globe.
