Description

Julia Lathrop: Social Service and Progressive Government explores the remarkable life of a pioneering social reformer who became the first woman to lead a United States federal agency. This biography traces Lathrop's journey from Hull House in Chicago to her groundbreaking appointment as chief of the U.S. Children's Bureau in 1912, established to advance child welfare nationwide. The book details how Lathrop challenged early 1900s social conventions and redefined women's roles in public life through her work as a social servant, government activist, and social scientist. Readers discover how her career at the nation's most prominent social settlement shaped Progressive reform and influenced welfare policy. This volume, part of the Lives of American Women series from Routledge, offers essential insight into how one determined individual transformed public attitudes toward child protection and social responsibility.
