Jane Addams - A Modern Lear - Table of Contents
In this essay, Jane Addams writes about the Pullman strike of 1894 and its aftermath. Her analysis of the causes and consequences of the "shocking experiences of that summer" are interesting even today. Addams compares the head of the Pullman Company to the Shakespearean King Lear. A long, but fascinating, article which I highly recommend.

An essay on Addams and her Hull House as a means for middle class women to make a significant contribution, at a time when work options were limited for women.
