Filling a void in Jane Addams scholarship, this first volume of The Selected Papers of Jane Addams collects extant documents from the formative years of the major American historical figure, intellectual, social activist, and author. Documenting the early development of Addams's social principles, the documents reveal the leadership skills that led her into a life of public commitment.

For all her public compassion and visibility as an outspoken pacifist, Progressive reformer, and founder of Hull-House, Addams was an intensely private person who revealed her personal side only to family and close friends. Drawing on letters, diaries, and other writings from her childhood in Cedarville, Illinois, and her education at the Rockford Female Seminary, this volume provides heretofore unavailable insight into her developing ideas, educational experiences, and personal relationships.

More than just biographical records, The Selected Papers of Jane Addams defines the era in which Addams lived. Unique yet representative of the spiritual ideals and political sensibilities of post-Civil War women and society, Addams's lesser-known, personal writings are necessary reading for scholars and historians. The volume explores important themes, including the migration of families westward, the first generation of college women, and the religious and domestic lives of nineteenth-century Americans. The editors' rich annotation of individuals and events featured in the documents and appendix of biographical profiles represent a trove of primary research and place the documents in historical context.

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2005

Selected Papers of Jane Addams Volume 1, Preparing to lead 1860-81,edited by Mary Bryan, Barbara Blair and Maree De Angury is published by University of Illinois Press. It is 650 pages, has 47 illustrations (including a map of Mill Street, Cedarville as of 1875 by Ronald Beam). It has documents for the time in question including letters, school essays, school speeches and other documents concerning Jane Addams.

The earliest document is a letter from Jane at age 8 to her sister, Alice, dated 1868. It reads in part:

Dear Sister Alice,

As I take my pen in hand to let you know that I am wel at pressent hopin that you are the same.

Yes, Jane at age 8 was a poor speller. The reproduced report cards shows Jane got a 59 in spelling at age 5. There is hope for the bad spellers.

Volume 1 ends with her Valedictorian address given to Rockford Female Seminary school in June, 1881. That speech starts:

To the Citizens of Rockford:

In a quiet part of your busy city for four years a class of girls have lived, studied some, planned and dreamed much more, and to all appearances have added nothing to the society or working force of your citizens.

The documents cover only 354 pages of the book. The first 81 pages of the book include acknowledgments of 8 pages, an introduction of 20 pages, and 3 pages on editorial method. The bibliography is 40 pages and is very comprehensive. The remainder of the book contains biographical profiles. They are well done and include Addams family members and close associates such as Ellen Star.

Mary Bryan, the major editor, also did the microfilm edition of the Jane Addams papers that was published a few years back.

This book is a delight. Those who follow the life of Jane Addams will love this book. It has the content of actual letters and writings of Jane Addams from age eight on. They are fun and educational to read as the reader follows the development of Jane from child to young adult. There are good photos to help move the pages. The serious student of Jane Addams will find this volume a joy, with few defects, and a great read.
