Jane Addams, founder of Hull House in 1889, transformed the women's movement by turning social work into a platform for civic and political engagement, bringing middle‑class women into public reform on issues like labor laws, child welfare, and immigrant education. Hull House trained and legitimized women as professional reformers, linking practical social services with demands for political rights and helping make suffrage part of a broader agenda for social justice. Her leadership in national progressive causes and in founding the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, together with her 1931 Nobel Peace Prize, gave international prestige to women's public leadership and helped normalize women's authoritative roles in politics and policy.
