Addams died of cancer on May 21, 1935, in Chicago. Her 12 books include ''Democracy and Social Ethics'' (1902) and ''Newer Ideals of Peace'' (1907), as well as two influential autobiographies, ''Twenty Years at Hull House'' (1910), and ''The Second Twenty Years at Hull House'' (1930). She wrote over 500 essays, speeches, and other works; a letterpress edition of Addams' letters and publications is underway. Her achievements are commemorated by the [[Jane Addams College of Social Work]], a unit of the University of Illinois, Chicago. Hull House is a museum, located on the university campus. Her reputation declined after 1960 as critics portrayed her an unoriginal racist determined to civilize helpless immigrants. After 1990 the pendulum swung in her favor and numerous favorable biographies have appeared.
