Cover of Jane Addams: A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

This in-depth look at Chicago’s white slave trade takes its direction from the stories of both rural and immigrant women. These are harrowing tales of prostitution, from which poor women were not powerful enough to break free. Addams presents these sensationalized tales in hopes of social change in the form of decent wages and education for women.

Her memoir, Twenty Years at Hull House, is a classic.
