Question

Jane Addams was born in Cedarville, Illinois in 1860. As the daughter of well-off mill owner, Jane always had her needs cared for.
While she traveled through England in her late twenties, she and her friend, Ellen G. Starr traveled to a house where poor people
could sleep, eat, and learn. Inspired by this, Jane and Ellen started a similar establishment, called Hull House, in Chicago, Illinois.
