The Hull-House Settlement was considered a “Queer Domesticity,” a term created by author and academic, Shannon Jackson. This phrase described how industrialization of the city changed the relationship between people and domestic space. Industrialization led people away from their families to come together and live communally outside of typical family situations during the late 1800s and early 1900s. While many people were married with children, people in the Hull-House neighborhood and in the settlement house were creating their own meaning of family.
