From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-While this biography does not exclude Addams's personal life, it emphasizes her contributions to social reform and international peace. In 1889, the young visionary founded Hull House in the midst of Chicago's teeming 19th Ward. Settlement house life and Addams's interaction with the ward's immigrant poor are vividly portrayed with the help of carefully selected anecdotes, quotations, and black-and-white period photographs. The latter part of the book focuses on Addams as a leader in promoting world peace, but the continuing story of Hull House remains the unifying theme. McPherson successfully balances public plaudits for the woman's settlement work with accounts of public disapproval of her antiwar stance. Although this portrait lacks some of the personal detail presented in Jacquelyn Mitchard's Jane Addams (Gareth Stevens, 1991), it is a well-written and attractively designed book.

From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. This slim book will serve as a wonderful introduction to Jane Addams' work among the poor of Chicago and her leadership role in international organizations on behalf of world peace. McPherson does not shy away from the criticism Addams received for her antiwar stance during World War II, and although McPherson has chosen to concentrate on Addams' career, she includes enough information about Addams' early years to help students writing biographical reports. Her clear, very readable style will attract even reluctant readers. Although there are no quotations sourced in the text, a section of notes offers additional information on some topics. A bibliography is appended. Chris Sherman
