Jane Addams - Nobel Peace Prize Winner

The first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize was Jane Addams.  She traveled to Europe as a young woman and there she visited a settlement house – a center that helped the poor people of the community.  This visit encouraged Jane to start a settlement house in America.

Jane started Hull House in Chicago.  Hull House was a community center with day care, a gym, and a playground.  There was also a first–aid center and a school where cooking and sewing classes were taught.  Jane's Hull House also offered young people an opportunity to develop talents in music, art, and drama.
