Waging Peace: The Story of Jane Addams

(4) YA World Writers series. Nobel Peace Prize-winner Addams--pacifist, children's and women's rights advocate, founder of Hull House--is profiled in this able if occasionally lacking biography. Great anecdotes (as one about Addams's meeting with Leo Tolstoy) occasionally muscle out basic information (we learn only as an aside that Addams helped found the NAACP in 1909). Black-and-white photos are scattered throughout. Timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
