Education, Experience, and Exchange: The Hull House Women, an International Network, and Chicago’s Immigrant Population
No full textThis paper explores the creation and purpose of Chicago's Hull House. It provides an overview of volunteer work by women in the US and addresses the European influence on Jane Addams's idea for Hull House and the various educational aspects and approaches used by the Hull House educators.
Founded, funded, and administered by women, the Hull House settlement is shown as a prime example of the nascent spirit of American volunteerism that epitomized that era. Women were able to participate in the settlement because of the evolving perception of their role in society. It was possible to devote one's life to charity and not to marriage and child-raising. The force of the Hull House residents was to combine their individual skills and strengths to work as a united group of very dynamic and talented women. Education, experience, and exchange were the three pillars of their very successful settlement home. In their efforts to reform and better the living conditions in the rundown Chicago neighborhood, the Hull House women became involved in politics and policymaking. Thereby, they began to have a voice which became louder and louder and could not be silenced
Katherine Anne Porter’s Mexico
No full textKatherine Anne Porter travelled and lived in Mexico four different times between 1920 and 1930. Her experience in Mexico left an indelible trace on her writing. It was in her adoptive country that she gathered material for her future short stories. Writing non-fiction articles for both Mexican and American periodicals, she began to experiment with different narrative techniques, which she would later use in her fiction. Weaving fact with fiction, she created her own very unique form of storytelling. This short study will concentrate on some of the short non-fiction articles and book reviews written during her time in Mexico, and demonstrate that she was already working on the narrative techniques, which would later be developed in her short stories
