Women In Public Life (1914)

By Jane Addams

Book Overview

Women In Public Life is a book written by Jane Addams and published in 1914. Addams was a social reformer and activist who was instrumental in the women's suffrage movement and the founding of the settlement house movement in the United States. In this book, Addams explores the role of women in public life and the challenges they face in achieving equality and recognition. She argues that women have a unique perspective and set of skills that are essential to the functioning of society, and that their exclusion from public life is a detriment to the common good. Addams also discusses the ways in which women have been marginalized and oppressed throughout history, and the need for systemic change to address these injustices. Women In Public Life is a powerful and influential work that continues to be relevant today, as women continue to fight for equal representation and opportunities in all areas of public life.Also Contains Works By Mary Ritter Beard, Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge, Neva Ruth Deardorff, Josephine Marshall Jewell Dodge, George Elliott Howard, Emilie Josephine Hutchinson, Florence Kelley, Gertrude S.
