Abstract

This paper uses the experience of urban life as both a documentary and an impressionist source in the writing of a biography. Drawing on a biography of Margaret Haley, the turn-of-the-century leader of the Chicago Teachers' Federation, and the author's autobiographical reflections, the city is used not only as a resource that provides historical data, but also as an influence on the lives of urban women. The subject's relationship with the city in which she lived is used as an interpretative device.
