Listening to old women at Hull-House in Chicago, Jane Addams noticed how memory transmutes hardship into something bearable and even beautiful. In these essays she explores how women’s memories react on life, unsettle convention, connect them to industry and lead them to challenge war, closing with an account of the women’s peace congress at The Hague in 1915.
