This in-depth look at Chicago’s white slave trade takes its direction from the stories of both rural and immigrant women. These are harrowing tales of prostitution, from which poor women were not powerful enough to break free. Addams presents these sensationalized tales in hopes of social change in the form of decent wages and education for women.
A propos de l’auteur
Jane Addams (1860-1935) was not only an author but also a philosopher and prominent public figure. Her work in the women’s suffrage movement, as well as her work for health care and world peace, led her to become the first woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. Her memoir, Twenty Years at Hull House, is a classic.
