Chronicles the sweeping history of the storied Henry Street Settlement and its enduring vision of a more just society. On a cold March day in 1893, 26-year-old nurse Lillian Wald rushed through the poverty-stricken streets of New York’s Lower East Side to a squalid bedroom where a young mother lay dying―abandoned by her doctor because she could not pay his fee.
