 Although Dewey and Addams gained celebrity status in their lifetime, their fame and legacies are characterized much differently. Dewey is framed as the great intellectual—a thinker—and Addams was the activist—a doer. As contemporaries, they represent classic archetypes of gender: the male as mind generating theory and the woman as body experiencing and caring. However, there is much evidence that such characterizations are inaccurate. Both John Dewey and his daughter, Jane, credit Jane Addams for developing many of his important ideas, including his view on education, democracy, and, ultimately, philosophy (Schlipp, 1951). Despite the lack of attribution in Dewey’s written work, many scholars document Addams’ significant influence (Davis, 1973; Deegan, 1988; Farrell, 1967; Lasch, 1965; Linn, 2000; Seigfried, 1996)
