University of Arizona Halloween meeting to learn more about Jane Addams

Gloria McMillian alongside the Tuscan Branch organized the University of Arizona campus WILPF gathering. We watched a video about Jane Addams and her role as Chicago’s Haunted Sapphic Icon. Just days before Halloween in the Women and Gender Resources Center, it was fitting that we watched a video showcasing Jane’s defiance towards gender norms, her intersectional identities and the rich, potentially haunted, history of Hull House. After the video, attendees were invited to reflect on the new insights they learned about Jane’s life and the importance of sharing untold stories. Several participants shared that the video offered fresh perspectives on Jane Addams’ life beyond her work in women’s suffrage, especially regarding her queer and asexual identities. We closed out with a group picture of the students who attended along with Deb Livingston who helped support the event.
