“Shields opens the book with an explanation of pragmatism as a philosophical approach that stresses the relation of theory to praxis. … This book is a treasure trove of resources for those interested in learning more about Addams. A 19-page bibliography contains the list of Addams’s books and other writings. … This is an excellent piece of work, and it is refreshing to read herstory, rather than history. Get it. Read it.” (Mary E. Guy, Public Administration Review, 2018)
