Do you, the woman, want your rights and a good economy? If you do then lets stand up and show the people what the government is really doing. Luckily Addams stood up for the rights of improving social conditions in the urban areas for immigrants and workers living in slum. People living in the slums had to live in terrible conditions. Large households were living in cramped living spaces that were overcrowded with people. Young children were sent to work along with their parents in order to provide daily meals to feed their families and there was no sanitation. In 1889 she founded the Hull House, it was a little house in Chicago, the house provided social services to people in the neighborhood, such as teaching english to the immigrants and establishing movie theaters and schools.
Because of Jane Addams work laws were passed to improve the rights of social conditions in the urban areas for immigrants and poor people that cannot fix these things themselves. This law that was passed allowed people to fix the awful conditions for the immigrants and poor people so they could be safe and sanitary and disease wasn't spread around. Addams also had some say in the labor rights that were passed because she wanted a better place to live for the immigrants and poor but she also wanted get rid of the idea of children working alongside their parents.
There are positive effects to the Hull House one of those effects is that Addams wanted to alleviate some of the poor people and immigrants in the community. The Hull House provided social services to reduce the effects of poverty. The major purpose of settlement houses was to help to ease the transition of immigrants into the labor force by teaching them middle-class American values. For example the Hull House helped educate the immigrants by providing classes in history, art, and literature. The Hull House also provided social services to reduce the effects of poverty, including a daycare center, homeless shelter, public kitchen, and public baths.
She was a woman's rights activist and she helped womans rights by being the first woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize. In 1910, she became the first female president of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections.
There are also negative effects with the Hull House, the house closed because of bankruptcy, they spent too much money on their house and paying for the immigrants to learn that they could run the house and pay the workers anymore. People started to leave the house because of the “haunted” stories they were hearing about around the Hull House.
Jane Addams affects us now because she made womens rights happen for women in that time and because of that we now have woman's right today. Addams also co-founded the first settlements in the United States, this affects us today because without it we wouldn't have the first settlements and we wouldn't have started the United States without part of her work.
