“As the early years at Hull House show,
female participation in that area of reform
grew out of a set of needs and values
peculiar to middle-class women in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth venture.
Settlement workers did not set out to
become reformers. They were rather
women trying to fulfill existing social
expectations for self-sacrificing female
service while at the same time satisfying
their need for public recognition,
authority, and independence. In the
process of attempting to weave together a
life of service and professional
accomplishment, they became reformers
as the wider world defined them.”
