Review
The organization of the book allows it to be assigned in parts or as a whole. This is perfect for an undergraduate course ... Opdycke’s demonstration of Addams personal transformation and focus beyond local reform activities provides a better understanding of the importance of progressive ideals to modern America ... I was truly impressed with Opdycke’s ability to make this more than just a traditional biography that explains Addams life and activities.
-Charissa Threat, Northeastern University
...perfect for a survey course because the author uses Addams and her experiences to illuminate the major political, social, and economic trends and events that defined the decades between 1880 and 1920. The book utilizes Addams and her story as a window to the American story.
-Carl Bon Tempo, SUNY-University at Albany
