These writings contributed to the development of social programs that safeguarded mothers and children, protected immigrants from abuse, and rescued child laborers from the appalling conditions of the time. Framed by reminiscences and observations on her life by her sister, Edith Abbott, and other important historical figures, these writings recapture a critical turning point - and a significant voice - in the never-ending struggle for social justice in this nation."--Jacket.Women social reformersUnited StatesBiographyWomen social workersUnited StatesBiographyFeministsUnited StatesSocial justiceWomen social reformersWomen social workersFeministsSocial justice.361.92/273BAbbott Grace1878-1939.1503708Sorensen John1958-1503709Sealander Judith682412DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910782671703321The Grace Abbott reader3732285UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
