Why Women Should Vote

Why Women Should Vote

On view through May 31, 2020: As we approach the 2020 Centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution and look towards the 2020 presidential election, we reflect on questions of women’s leadership, electoral power, voice, racism within women’s movements and women’s power to impact civic affairs.

True Peace: the Presence of Justice

True Peace: the Presence of Justice

On view through May 31, 2020: The exhibition explores the legacy of Women’s International League of Peace and Freedom, founded by Jane Addams in opposition to WWI, and the last decade of leadership and organizing in Chicago lead by queer communities and women of color.

Jane Addams Hull-House Museum (JAHHM) draws upon the legacy of international peace activist and feminist, Jane Addams, and other social reformers who lived and worked alongside their immigrant neighbors to create social change on the Near West Side of Chicago. The Museum is located in two of the original buildings: the Hull Home (now a National Historic Landmark) and the Residents Dining Hall. The Museum connects the histories of the Hull-House Settlement to present-day social justice issues. Exhibitions and public programs highlight histories of activism, progressive education and democratic principles of participation and exchange.
