Adams, Kate J.
Social worker, suffragist, and temperance advocate, Adams was born in Topeka, Kan. She received her social work training at the Church Training and Deaconess House of the diocese of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. She worked in a settlement house on the South Side of Chicago and opened a home for "fallen girls." She was the author of what came to be known as the Kate Adams law, which allowed for the commitment of young girls who were brought into the Morals Court.
