Focused on the years leading up to, during, and after World War I, “Jane Addams: Chicago’s Pacifist” is a digital portal for students, educators, and scholars who are in search of information, knowledge, and understanding about Jane Addams’ pacifist ideas, anti-war activism, and efforts to forge a new world order of lasting peace, prosperity, and social justice.  The site is comprised of a group of short essays about the Addams’ peace advocacy and a 46-year timeline (comprised of nearly 200 entries) that trace Addams’ life and major developments in international relations that shaped her thinking and influenced her anti-war activism from the founding of Hull House in 1889 through 1931, when Addams was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, to Addam's death, in Chicago, in 1935.
