A propos de cet article

First printing, very good with no dust jacket. Minor wear at spine ends; endpapers just slightly darkened. Includes illustrations; 413 pages. This copy is inscribed by the author: "To Ben Goodman/with the mutual memories/of the authors/Jane Addams/Hull-House/Chicago./Alice Hamilton/Esther L. Kohn(?)/Edith de Nancrede(?)". Although Benny Goodman, the King of Swing, studied at Hull-House in his early teens, this inscription is to Benedict Goodman, a Chicago area resident and supporter of Hull-House, who is the father of Nancy Goodman Feldman, an educator and social activist who moved from Chicago to Tulsa in the 1940's and lived there until her death in 2014. Jane Addams was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1931, and died in 1935. Alice Hamilton (1869 - 1970), another signer of this volume, was the sister of classicist Edith Hamilton. Alice was trained as a physician, a pioneer in studies of occupational epidemiology, and active in both the women's rights and peace movements. The other two signers' last names are not legible.
