BINETTI, María José. Jane Addams and Feminism as Social Pacifier. Trab. soc. [online]. 2016, n.18, pp.13-24. ISSN 2256-5493.

This article seeks to reestablish the figure of Jane Addams as a feminist thinker, social theorist and worker. Jane Addams founded Social Work in the United States and created Hull House, earning her in 1931 the second Nobel Peace Prize awarded to a woman. Addams' social thought works toward the construction of an ethical and democratic welfare state modeled on the maternal interactions of a feminine ethic rather than an ethic of competition and business gain.

Keywords : democracy; ethics; maternalism; peace; pragmatism; Social Work.
