ane Addams was born in Cedarville, Illinois, in 1860. As the daughter of well-off mill owner, Jane always had her needs cared for. While she traveled through England in her late twenties, she and her friend, Ellen G. Starr, traveled to a house where poor people could sleep, eat, and learn. Inspired by this, Jane and Ellen started a similar establishment, called Hull House, in Chicago, Illinois. People living in the city could get a meal, learn, and rest at Hull House. The founders soon became famous for their work, and their efforts helped many poor people in Chicago. For her work, Jane was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.
