An expert in my field, Social Work


Today I’m going to talk about a person that is an expert and a pioneer of Social Work, her name is Jane Addams. She was born in the United States in 1860 and died in 1935 at the age of 75. All his life was dedicated to the social labor. She fight for the rights of immigrants, women and poor even when everything was against her for being young and a woman.  

The most iconic of his work was the “Hull House”, a house settlement that in the beginning was for European immigrants but with the time it becomes a house with social, educational and artistic programs for everyone. This was recognized all over the world and today it becomes a museum and was declared National Historic Monument of the United States.

To finish I would like to tell that I like her because she fight for what she believes and for the ones who were being vulnerated, even being a young woman, a lesbian, a feminist  and an activist in a time that was extremely sexist against women.
