Biographical Text

Henrietta Barnett was a socialite and social reformer. While she was part of a prosperous London family, Barnett's status as a woman allowed her no opportunity for the education she craved. This was her first fuel for social change. In 1870 Barnett met and began working with Octavia Hill in the Charity Organization Society Committee. She and her husband moved to St. Jude's Whitechapel later that year in 1873. In St. Jude's, Barnett focused much of her time on the education and employment of women, as well as the education and well-being of children. Barnett and her husband are also credited with founding Toynbee Hall. The house inspired Jane Addams, who visited the Hall, to create Hull House in Chicago. Henrietta Barnett is credited with opening The Barnett School. The school is still in operation today in London. Barnett died June 10, 1936.

Barnett married Samuel Barnett in 1873. They did not have children, but adopted Dorthy Woods.
