She reached out to politicians, business leaders, and philanthropists in Chicago and traveled to settlement houses springing up all over the United States. Addams became its leader, administrator, fund-raiser, and defender. Over the next few years, Hull-House expanded to 13 buildings and became the home of many social workers who took on new tasks: English instruction, adult education, boys and girls clubs. They also delivered babies, nursed the sick, prepared the dead for burial, and, from time to time, sheltered young women from abuse. The early residents, who lived in the house to help the community, held reading groups and sewing classes.

I would say though, without a doubt the best thing about this book is the artwork. :D - Nah it's not that bad, but it is definitely written for mature readers. shit, fuck, bollocks, hitler's cock & cunt. It's very adult, with violence, nudity and cursing i.e. It's a very well thought out story, so intricate, and if you read the commentary after the story from Brubaker, he tells how he researched a lot into the crime noir genre and real life stories. It tells the story of the Lawless brothers, and I was thinking, "they keep mentioning their father and his reputation, i'd love to read that", and then boom, vol. So when i say history, I mean family history and even city history. So this book tells different stories about different characters that all intertwine into the same group history of characters. The story, the artwork, the extras, the binding, the printing all excellent. This is Brubaker and Phillip's best - EASILY! If you love crime, if you love crime noire, if you love Brubaker or if you love comics, you gotta read this. Seriously, you can stop what your doing and read this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Readers are now familiar with two scenes-Camelot and Shalott.
