The House That Jane Built: A Story about Jane Addams by Tanya Lee Stone
4.0
As a lifelong Illinoisian, I've heard of Jane Addams here and there. I know she's associated with Chicago, and I know she was famous for being a philanthropist who walked the walk as well as talked the talk.
I had no idea how influential she really was! From being responsible for something as simple as the first public playground in Chicago to revolutionizing education for working-class kids and working with city officials to improve hygiene in the poor neighborhoods.
This is a great overview of some of Addams' most important achievements, and it comes with a good-sized bibliography and "further reading" section for those who want more. It's a great introduction to a great lady!
