Summary:
The first biography of an iconic figure--featured because of her dynamism as a "Wonder Woman of History" in a series produced by DC Comics--in the settlement house movement, which in the early 20th century spearheaded efforts to improve living conditions for immigrants and the disadvantaged in American cities, and whose lifelong advocacy for public housing and city planning remains urgently relevant almost 75 years after her death.
