Biographical Text

Sophonisba Breckinridge was a lawyer, teacher, and women's rights activist. Breckinridge graduated from Wellesley College in 1888. She became the first woman to be admitted to the Kentucky bar in 1895. Due to the lack of clients, Breckinridge moved to Chicago and became secretary to the Dean of Women at the University of Chicago. She moved into Hull-House in 1907. Breckinridge enrolled in the University of Chicago, earning her Ph.D. in political science. She later became one of the founding editors of the now premier scholarly journal Social Service Review and worked on its publication every year until her death in 1948.

Breckinridge never married nor had children.

At Hull House, Breckinridge worked on issues such as vocational training, housing, and juvenile delinquency. She worked closely with Julia Lathrop and Jane Addams. Breckinridge helped Addams plan events and worked with the money that was given to the house.
