This dissertation examines the intersection of gender and mission in the creation of American social work at the opening of the twentieth century. Through an examination of the nation's first three schools of social work---the Boston School for Social Workers, the New York School of Philanthropy, and the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy---this study finds a dynamic process of invention in the early history of social work, with multiple voices struggling to shape the emerging mission of social work. Within and between the schools, the National conference of Charities and Corrections, and the Russell Sage Foundation, representatives of the settlement and charity organization movements, social scientists, and social reformers all vied to shape the emerging field. Examining the social thought and evolving social work practice and teaching of Jeffrey Brackett and Zilpha Drew Smith in Boston; Edward Devine, Samuel Lindsay, and Porter Lee in New York; Graham Taylor, Julia Lathrop, Sophonisba Breckinridge, and Edith Abbott in Chicago---as well as Mary Richmond and Jane Addams, whose national leadership influenced them all---reveals the extent to which social work education was an important battleground in the ideological contests of the American Progressive era.

520 $a From the cacophony of voices in early social work, this study identifies central tensions in social work thought about the nature and causes of poverty and the extent of public responsibility and appropriate governmental action. These tensions were built into a spectrum of thought stretching from the laissez-faire individualism of social work's charity roots, to the social democratic ideals of social work's roots in social reform. The institutional strength of the charity apparatus and the practice imperative of social work undergirded the ascendancy of a casework-based mission of social work. At social work's social justice pole, the social democratic alliance split along gender lines and failed to develop a justice-based practice of social work. Although social work emerged in the 1920s as an individualistic, casework-driven enterprise, social democratic, policy-oriented social workers perpetuated a vision of social work committed to the ideals of social democracy and justice.
