From the Paper:

"Jane Addams was a great contributor to social science during the late eighteen hundreds and through the early nineteen hundreds. She was also a fairly complicated woman since her name appeared on the FBI's list of "most dangerous radicals". Being the first woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, founding the settlement house known as Hull house, and founding National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or better known as the NAACP, are a few of her more honorable accomplishments. The experiences with all of these successes, particularly the Hull House, contributed highly to her donations to social theory."
