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. 606 $aWomen social reformers$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aWomen social workers$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aFeminists$zUnited States 606 $aSocial justice 615 0$aWomen social reformers 615 0$aWomen social workers 615 0$aFeminists 615 0$aSocial justice. 676 $a361.92/273 676 $aB 700 $aAbbott$b Grace$f1878-1939.$01702334 701 $aSorensen$b John$f1958-$01702335 701 $aSealander$b Judith$0682412 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824693003321 996 $aThe Grace Abbott reader$94086786 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis 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
