	Amazon.ca: Jane Adams and the Dream of American Democracy: A Life: Books: Jean Bethke Elshtain (Site not responding. Last check: )
		At the time of her death in 1935, however, she was more than the answer to a trivia question--she was "America's best-known and most widely hailed female public figure." Addams had recently won the Nobel Peace Prize and was famous for her social work as the founder of Hull-House in Chicago.
		As a result of the author's resolute refusal to speculate on the private Jane Addams, the woman who emerges from these pages is the familiar public figure noble, generous, empathetic but not altogether engaging and one who, despite Elshtain's best efforts, emerges as heroic but faintly irrelevant to the present.
		Jane will be long remembered for the "quality of her thinking, for her rightness as an interpreter of individuals to themselves and of social groups one to another." So wrote her first biographer, James Linn.

	Fametracker :: Hey! It's That Guy! :: Jane Adams
		In just a handful of scenes, and with barely any dialogue, she inhabits defeated bitterness so convincingly that her performance is equivalent to twenty pages of backstory: that's just how good Adams is, by now, at playing life's doormats.
		But none of them, for all their airs, is probably planning to go up against Adams for roles like Wonder Boys's Oola or Kansas City's Nettie Bolt or "White Faced Woman #2" in the Lemony Snicket movie.
		Jane Adams may not play roles that entail a lot of glory or majesty, but when it comes to playing frail poppets likely to blow over in the next stiff wind, she has no peer.
