This position is untenable, and there can be no pause in the agitation for full political power and responsibility until these are granted to all the women of the nation.
-Florence Kelley
Florence Kelley was a women’s suffragist who worked along side Jane Addams. She became a resident at the Hull-House, meaning that she worked and lived there. Through working at the Hull-House, Kelley became a social activist in the neighborhood. Kelley also worked to achieve a minimum wage law and health care funds. Kelley is also well known for successfully petitioning the Illinois state legislature to pass a law for an eight-hour workday for women. The aid that Florence Kelley gave to the world of women’s rights in turn aided to the world of women’s suffrage.
