Great Women in History
Jane Addams. Maya Angelou. Nellie Bly. Mariea Tallchief. Lucille Ball. Throughout history, strong and determined women have contributed to every facet of our culture. Often, they overcame considerable barriers in the process. Each month, WomenShare celebrates the strength, courage and devotion of one of these women.

It would be hard not to admire a woman like Jane Addams. Once dubbed "The Most Dangerous Woman in America," you know she had guts and gumption. A pioneer in social work, her ideas were uncommon at the time, but are at the core of how we help immigrants and children today.
