This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Jane Addams? Wrong! If the Jane Addams is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Jane Addams then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

{{Infobox Person| image = Jane Addams profile.jpg| name = Jane Addams | birth_date = | birth_place =
Cedarville, Illinois,
Illinois, [Illinois and Sarah Weber| children =-->Laura Jane Addams ([September 6,
1860 –
May 21, 1935) was a founder of the
U.S. Settlement House Movement and the first American woman to be awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize.
Born in
Cedarville, Illinois, Illinois, Jane Addams was the eighth of nine children born into a prosperous miller family. Her father was future state senator John H. Addams. She was first cousin twice removed to Charles Addams, noted macabre cartoonist for The New Yorker.Davis, Linda H.
Charles Addams: A Cartoonist's Life. Random House, Inc. 2006.
Jane Addams' ancestors were immigrants from
Germany and
England, that meant that Addams is of German people and
English people ancestry.
Addams was educated in the United States and
Europe, graduating from the Rockford Female Seminary (now
Rockford College) in
Rockford, Illinois. While in London, she was influenced by Andrew Mearn's essay,
The Bitter Cry of Outcast London, which highlighted slum conditions. She visited Europe when she was 27 years old, visiting Toynbee Hall, a settlement house in the
East End of London.
Hull House
In 1889 she and her friend, Ellen Gates Starr co-founded
Hull House in
Chicago, Illinois, one of the first settlement houses in the United States. At its height, Hull House was visited each week by around two thousand people. Its facilities included a night school for adults, kindergarten classes, clubs for older children, a public kitchen, an art gallery, a
coffeehouse, a gymnasium, a girls club, a swimming pool, a Bookbinding, a
music school, a drama group, a library, and labor-related divisions. She was probably most remembered through the institution of her adult night school which set the stage for the
continuing education classes offered by many
community colleges today.
Hull House also served as a women's Sociology institution. Addams was a friend and colleague to the early members of the Chicago School of Sociology, influencing their thought through her work in applied sociology and, in 1893, co-authoring the
Hull-House Maps and Papers that came to define the interests and methodologies of the School. She worked with
George H. Mead on social reform issues including promoting women's rights, ending child-labor, and the mediating during the 1910 Garment Workers' Strike. Although academic sociologists of the time defined her work as "social work", Addams did not consider herself a social worker. Indeed her work was really the beginning of community work in America. She combined the central concepts of symbolic interactionism with the theories of cultural feminism and
pragmatism to form her sociological ideas (Deegan, 1988). She was also actively involved with
Pi Gamma Mu, the social science honor society, from the 1920s until her death, because of its emphasis on social service and the humanization of the social science disciplines. In 1998 the British Columbia Branch of the
Women's International League for Peace and Freedom commissioned Canadian artist Christian Cardell Corbet to create a bronze medallion of Jane Addams to celebrate her life and achievements. The medallion has since been collected by several important museums.
The
Jane Addams Peace Association together with the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom give the annual
Jane Addams Children's Book Awards to children's books that promote peace, equality, multiculturalism, and peaceful solutions.
Jane Addams was also a member of the
NAACP, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, and the first vice-president of the
History of women's suffrage in the United States in 1911.
A 2007 joint resolution of the Illinois General Assembly, HJR 19 (Barbara Flynn Currie), would rename the Northwest Tollway as the
Jane Addams Memorial Tollway.
