      Introduction

      Jane Addams was a pioneer settlement social worker in America. She was born on 6th of September, 1860 at Cedarville, Illinois. She was also an author, a philosopher, and sociologist.

      Being a leader in women’s suffrage and world peace, her contribution to humanity is memorable. It was an era when the American Presidents such as Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt were considered to be one of the greatest social reformers and social activists; however, Jane Addams was the pioneer reformer of the Progressive Era.

      She was deeply dedicated to the issues of women in America, and she tried her best to turn America to issues of concern to mothers. She worked hard to bring the attention of the leaders of the time to the issues such as needs of children, public health, and world peace.

      She raised her voice to try to get voting rights for women, for she believed that if women had their much important role in cleaning up their communities and making their communities better places to live, right to vote must be granted to them. Without their voting rights, women were just puppets controlled by the males of the society.

      The middle-class American women, who were willing to raise the standard of living and uplift their communities, looked at Jane Addams as their role model.

      With the passage of time and through her social works, Jane Addams’ popularity began to increase and she was eventually recognized as a member of the American pragmatist school of philosophy.

      Her social works and philanthropic endeavors got international recognition and acclaim when she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. She was the first woman to receive this prestigious award.
