Eola Road Branch
Who gets to be a citizen? This session will focus on three significant Chicago-based women activists who were connected in their reform work, but who encountered difficulties in finding common ground.
Ida B. Wells, Frances Willard and Jane Addams each worked to expand women’s rights and influence. However, they had significant disagreements in their approaches informed by their differing views about the impact of race and racism.
