"Oddly, Knight stops her book at precisely the moment when the greatness of Jane Addams begins to emerge....A half-life does not a biography make, but Knight is really not writing a biography; her book is what the Germans call a bildung, an account of how a person's character is formed. As it happens, Knight's decision to focus on Addams's early years is a stroke of genius....In Knight's book, Jane Addams comes to life."Knight, Louise W. is the author of 'Citizen Jane Addams And the Struggle for Democracy', published 2005 under ISBN 9780226446998 and ISBN 0226446999.
