Though largely and justifiably regarded as "the patron saint" of Social Work and settlement houses, Jane Addams is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Chicago's role in the evolution of these vital services. Several generations of 19th century women contributed mightily to the advancement of the human experience and the rise of Chicago's place in the growth of social services. Historian Clarence Goodman identifies these heroines and the significant impact of their good work.
