在美国妇女获得投票权之前的几十年里，她们的政治权力来源是什么？妇女如何运用她们所能聚集的政治力量？本文试图通过考察美国历史上最具政治影响力的女性改革者群体之一--那些于19世纪90年代初聚集在芝加哥的船体之家的女性来回答这些问题。在这一群体中，本研究的重点是改革者佛罗伦萨凯利（1859-1932）。凯利于1891年加入船体之家，并一直呆到1899年，当时她搬到了纽约下东区的莉莲·沃尔德的亨利街定居点，在那里她住了27年。根据费利克斯·法兰克福特的说法，凯利“在本世纪的前30年里，在塑造美国社会历史方面可能是最大的一个人”，因为她“在确保立法以消除内战后我们疯狂的工业化中最明显的弊端方面发挥了强有力的作用，如果不是决定性的话。“"19世纪90年代，凯利和她在船体大厦的同事们发展了一种生活和思维模式，这种模式指导了他们一生的改革，给美国政治留下了不可磨灭的印记。本文试图确定

Within that group, this study focuses on the reformer Florence Kelley (1859-1932). Kelley joined Hull House in 1891 and remained until 1899, when she moved to Lillian Wald's Henry Street Settlement on the Lower East Side of New York, where she lived for the next twenty-seven years. According to Felix Frankfurter, Kelley "had probably the largest single share in shaping the social history of the United States during the first thirty years of this century," for she played "a powerful if not decisive role in securing legislation for the removal of the most glaring abuses of our hectic industrialization following the Civil War."' It was in the 1890s that Kelley and her colleagues at Hull House developed the patterns of living and thinking that guided them throughout their lives of reform, leaving an indelible imprint on U.S. politics.' This essay attempts to determine the
