Trade Review
"One of the most important books ever written in the United States, Twenty Years at Hull-House remains a classic because it addresses large questions of human destiny and social justice in terms that are as relevant today as they were one hundred years ago."--Kathryn Kish Sklar, author of Catherin Beecher: A Study in American Domesticity
"After twenty years of relative obscurity, the early-twentieth-century social crusader and author of Twenty Years at Hull-House is once again in the spotlight."--Arianne Chernock, Lingua Franca
"The classic account of the development of Hull-House into a vibrant community center for Chicago's immigrants and poor. Addams' memoir is central to understanding the aims and mood of the progressive era."--The Front Table
