Tell us about an expert/person in your field that you admire

 Hello everybody, I hope they’re okay <3

The topic I’m going to talk to you about today is the person I admire. She was an inspiration to me, to continue acquiring knowledge of this discipline was Jane Addams, who was a feminist, pacifist, sociologist and one of the pioneers of social work in the United States. Making multiple contributions to social services, he offered in his settlement house called Hull House. She allowed many families who were in poverty to have food, health, education, work.

She was born on September 6, 1860 in Cedarville, Illinois, United States. She studied at the Women’s Medical School in Philadelphia. Initially he was interested in studying medicine, but due to health problems he had to leave his studies in that area. She later realized his interest in helping the poor, which is why he was inspired by an article about settlement houses, to create her own house. She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931, after years of pacifism and opposition to her country’s integration into the First World War. She was the first American woman to receive such an award. She died on May 21, 1935 in Chicago, Illinois, USA

The reason I admire her is because despite the sexist, classist and racist times in which she lived, Jane always worked hard to fight for the rights of women and the most disadvantaged people.
