Summary: "A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil" by Jane Addams is a social commentary written in the early 20th century. The work addresses the critical issue of commercialized vice, particularly focusing on the exploitation of young women in urban environments. Addams reflects on the moral and social responsibilities of society in combating this persistent social evil. The opening of the book introduces the author's personal motivations that arose from her association with the Juvenile Protective Association in Chicago, revealing a profound concern for the welfare of vulnerable young girls. Through her experiences, Addams discusses the dangers posed by city conditions and the need for societal reform to protect these women from the corrupting influences around them. She draws analogies to historical injustices, like slavery, to illustrate the need for a similar moral awakening against what she labels as “the social evil.” Through her analysis, Addams sets the tone for a broader discussion about improving societal attitudes towards vulnerable populations and mobilizing collective action for their protection.
