    About this ebook

    It is well to remind ourselves, from time to time, that "Ethics" is but another word for "righteousness," that for which many men and women of every generation have hungered and thirsted, and without which life becomes meaningless. Certain forms of personal righteousness have become to a majority of the community almost automatic. But we all know that each generation has its own test, the contemporaneous and current standard by which alone it can adequately judge of its own moral achievements. To attain individual morality in an age demanding social morality, to pride one's self on the results of personal effort when the time demands social adjustment, is utterly to fail to apprehend the situation. This book is a study of various types and groups who are being impelled by the newer conception of Democracy to an acceptance of social obligations involving in each instance a new line of conduct.
    Jane Addams (1860-1935), known as the "mother" of social work, was a pioneer American settlement activist, public philosopher, sociologist, protestor, author, and leader in women's suffrage and world peace. In 1931 she became the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and is recognized as the founder of the social work profession in the United States.

    Author

    Jane Addams

    Jane Addams (1860-1935) was an American activist, social worker, sociologist, feminist, and author born in Illinois. Addams was very active in her community as a leader in the women’s suffrage movement, and an advocate for the poor and immigrants. She co-founded the Hull House, a settlement home, which hosted educational courses for children as well as adults, medical facilities, and an art gallery amongst its many programs and efforts to better the Chicago community. Addams also founded the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to provide legal assistance and protect civil rights. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
