Geographic Breakdown

While birthdate and tags highlight a good deal of information about the suffragists, other factors such as a person’s geographical location also give ample information about the distribution of suffragists across the globe and the United States. The following choropleth map depicts the location of all Jane Addams’ associates and other suffragists that are mentioned in the documents based on the frequency in a particular geographical area. The darker the shading on a country, the more people mentioned in the papers reside there. The following global choropleth map shows that most people live in the United States, and the countries that have grey shading have a frequency of zero. 

To gain a deeper understanding of the distribution of suffragists within Jane Addams's associates, the following map shows the frequency of people across the United States. It can be seen that most interactions happened in Illinois and New York.  The map uses a separate data frame with the Alpha 3 codes for countries and abbreviations for states respectively as the first column and the frequency of the corresponding location as the second one. This information is then, used in the “Choloropleth” section of the “Folium” library which is a python library for interactive geospatial data visualization. 

The project has tons of information about people involved in woman’s suffrage which is more complete for people having interacted with or been mentioned in written documents involving Jane Addams. In a similar manner to taking the “Woman’s Suffrage” tag as a sample dataset, we can attain other topics that we would like to interpret and see Jane Addams’ connection to it or contribution towards it.
