Allison's Jane Addams Bioriddle

I was born on September 6, 1860 in Cedarville, Illinois, with the sky so beautiful all full of the color turquoise.

I strongly believed in the need of research into the poverty and crime, I worked very hard to earn money but all I ever got was a dime.

My mother, Sara, died when I was just two years old, it was sad seeing her in her coffin all skinny and cold.

I was then raised by my stepmother who had two children of her own, by that time my clothes were always to be sewn.

I graduated from the Rockford Female Seminary in 1881 and won a bachelors degree, the next year after it became the Rockford College I got a very good salary.

During the summer of 1881 my father became ill and died, he was a very nice man and had never lied.

After he died I felt much torment, that time was the saddest moment.

I was the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931, I shared it with an educator Nicholas Murray Butler who also deserved one.

I visited and helped people at the Hull-House up to my death in 1935, I loved the children so much they made me feel so alive.

If your not sure who I am just try and guess, if you need a hint just look at my dress.

Who am I?

Yes, I am Jane Addams and my famous quote is:

"America's future will be determined by the home and the school.  The child becomes largely what he is taught, hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live."
