Jane Addams was a significant leader in the late 1800s and early 1900s primarily because she started Hull House, which became a model for other reformers. Hull House was one of the first settlement houses in the United States and provided various services to immigrants and the poor, including education, healthcare, and social services. Addams advocated for social reform, women's suffrage, and peace, and her work had a lasting impact on social work and community organization. The other statements seem to conflate her contributions or reference achievements that do not pertain to her.
