Much To Be Done: Private Life In Ontario From Victorian Diaries

In 1889, Addams returned to the United States and founded Hull House, a settlement house in Chicago. Hull House provided a variety of social services to the city's poor, including childcare, education, and healthcare. Addams also became involved in a number of social reform movements, including the women's suffrage movement and the peace movement.

In 1931, Addams was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her work in the peace movement. She continued to work for social justice until her death in 1935.

Much to Be Done is a fascinating account of Addams's life and work. The book is full of insights into the social and political issues of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Addams was a brilliant writer, and her autobiography is a moving and inspiring read.
