行動主義者珍‧亞當斯 (Jane
Addams) 出生於1860年9月6日
後來有很多人前來幫忙，其中大多數是婦女。因此，赫爾之家進一步擴大規模，包括了托兒所，還開設許多教育課程、社交場所、以及社區廚房等等。
在赫爾之家所辦的一場聖誕節派對上，有幾個小女孩拒絕接受亞當斯送給她們的糖果，亞當斯感到非常驚訝。後來她發現這些小女孩平常在糖果工廠工作的時間實在太長了，讓她們看到糖果就討厭。很快的，亞當斯、史達，還有其他赫爾之家的人員，開始推動制訂童工法的運動。此外，她們也為了爭取婦女權益以及國際和平而努力。
As more people, mostly women, came to help, Hull House expanded to include a nursery, adult education classes, social clubs, and a community kitchen.
At the center's first Christmas party, Addams was surprised when several little girls refused the candy she offered them. The girls, she discovered, worked long hours in a candy factory. Soon, Addams, Starr, and others at Hull House worked toward establishing child labor laws. They also fought for equal rights for women and in international peace.
Today, Hull House continues to build on Addams's work. Jane Addams found her inspiration from London's Toynbee Hall. Where will you discover your life's inspiration?
