Biographical Text

Mary Rozet Smith was a Chicago philanthropist and a major benefactor of Hull-House. She was born to an affluent family but did not attend college. Smith was one of Ellen Gates Starr's students at the Kirkland School, before Hull-House was founded. Looking for some purposeful charitable work, Smith was introduced to Hull-House by her friend Jennie Dow, who was a volunteer teacher there. Soon Smith made herself indispensable, working at the Music School, social clubs, nursery school and children's groups. Smith and her family were among the largest donors to Hull-House. Though Smith never lived at Hull-House, she was deeply connected to its work and to Jane Addams.

Smith is perhaps best-known for her romantic relationship with Jane Addams. The two shared a long, loving and close relationship for over 35 years. Smith provided financial and emotional support critical to making Addams' career possible, covering costs as they arose and serving as Addams' secretary. The pair traveled extensively together and found it difficult to be parted for any length of time. Mary Rozet Smith died of pneumonia in 1934, a year before Addams died.
