December 10 is Jane Addams Day. Why was Jane Addams so special? She spent her whole life helping other people.
Jane Addams helped with other things, too. She helped pass laws so that children could not work. She wanted to keep all workers safe. She also wanted women to vote.
Jane Addams was the first woman to win a special award called the Nobel Peace Prize.
