This is the story of Jane Addams, the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, who transformed a poor neighborhood in Chicago by opening up her house as a community center.
Ever since she was a little girl, Jane Addams hoped to help people in need. She wanted to live right in the middle of the roughest, poorest communities and create a place where people could go to find food, work, and help. In 1889, she bought a house in a run-down Chicago neighborhood and turned it into a settlement home, adding on playgrounds, kindergartens, and a public bath. By 1907, Hull House included thirteen buildings. And by the early 1920s, more than 9,000 people visited Jane's home each week. An inspiration to all, Jane Addams continues to be a role model to girls and women of all ages.
這是第一位獲得諾貝爾和平獎的美國女性簡·亞當斯 (Jane Addams) 的故事,她通過將自己的房子開放為社區中心,改變了芝加哥的一個貧困社區。簡·亞當斯 (Jane Addams) 從小就希望説明有需要的人。她想住在最貧窮、最貧窮的社區中間,並創造一個人們可以去尋找食物、工作和説明的地方。1889 年,她在芝加哥一個破敗的社區買了一所房子,並將其變成了一個定居點,增加了遊樂場、幼稚園和公共浴室。到 1907 年,赫爾之家包括 13 座建築。到 1920 年代初,每周有超過 9,000 人拜訪 Jane 的家。Jane Addams 是所有人的靈感來源,她仍然是所有年齡段女孩和女性的榜樣。
