Addams's family significantly influenced her career. Her father, John Huy Addams, participated in the abolitionists' Underground Railroad and had a reputation as the only Illinois legislator never offered a bribe. Jane deeply admired her father, attempting to imitate him not only in character but even in reading habits.
