Jane Addams: Chicago's Haunted Sapphic Icon

Check out my first episode of A Style Is Born on the Wayfair YouTube Channel! http://astyleisborn.link/ASIBs2e1Kaz

Happy Pride Month! Jane Addams was famous for her activism and charity work (and also the alleged hauntings in Hull House) but less people know that she was a Sapphic woman, spending 40 years of her life in a relationship with Mary Rozet Smith. Come learn with me about these women's love story, the change they fought for, and... a devil baby??
