Spearheads for Reform, the Social Settlements and the Progressive Movement, 1890-1914
Allen Davis looks at the influence of settlement-house workers on the reform movement of the progressive era in Chicago, New York, and Boston. These workers were idealists in the way they approached the future, but they were also realists who knew how to organize and use the American political system to initiate change. They lobbied for a wide range of legislation and conducted statistical surveys that documented the need for reform. After World …

Settlement Workers in Politics, 1890–1914
