"Newer Ideals of Peace" by Jane Addams is a study of thinking about peace in new ways during the early 1900s. It looks at how ideas about peace changed, moving from old ideas of simply avoiding war to new ideas of creating a fair society to prevent war in the first place. The book talks about why social change is important, and how caring about others can affect government. Addams says that these "newer ideals of peace" are active, not passive and that it's important to develop kindness instead of only opposing war. She witnessed the lives of immigrants through her work at Hull-House and believed it showed people could create moral understanding, work together internationally, and rise above national borders.

Summary
About the AuthorLaura Jane Addams was an American settlement activist, reformer, social worker, sociologist, public administrator, philosopher, and author. She was a leader in the history of social work and Women's suffrage. In 1889, Addams co-founded Hull House, one of America's most famous settlement houses, in Chicago, Illinois, providing extensive social services to poor, largely immigrant families.
