A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Jane Addams was the cofounder of Hull-House in Chicago, a settlement devoted to the social welfare of the poor and disenfranchised. In 1931, she won the Nobel Peace Prize for her career of public service and advocacy for peace. Emily G Balch was a distinguished sociologist who taught at Wellesley College and was the long-time International Secretary of the later-founded Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. In 1946, she too was honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize for her dedication to peace. Alice Hamilton, the first industrial physician in the United States, was also the first woman to join the faculty of Harvard University. Besides her teaching duties at Harvard, she worked for many years at Hull House as a medical investigator and social activist. Introduction by Mary Jo Deegan
