There are big inconsistancies in this article about Hull House. It was not founded in 1903, and not with the partner refered to in that part of the thing.... yeah. == Laura? == Bold textrewrite
Suggestion for re-write: Wikipedia:List of encyclopedia topics/Biographies A indicates that Jane Addams had a nickname, "Laura". No mention of this is made in the article. Kevyn 08:02, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
[edit] LGBT
Alright, maybe I'm just missing something, but after a quick skim I don't see anything in this article to qualify it being in the "Gay, lesbian or bisexual people" category.
- Well, since I havn't gotten a response, I'll take that out for now, and if anyone wants to put it back in, please say why. Thanks! :)
Here's a response: A recent (2006) biography by Gioia Diliberto makes the point that Addams was sustained by her deep emotional attachments to other women, especially Mary Rozet Smith, with whom Addams lived in what she called a "marriage" for more than 30 years. They traveled the country together, considered themselves married to each other and insisted on a double bed for themselves wherever they went.
Just removed this from the "publications" section of biog:

[edit] AKA?
Seeing that she was 48 when AKA was formed and is white...why is she considered an AKA sister? Please remove. User:VarunRajendran
is that whole first cousin twice removed of a famous cartoonist for the new yorker bit a bit too random and useless?, but that's just me
