Frances Perkins wasn’t just the first woman to serve in a presidential cabinet. She was also America’s longest serving Secretary of Labor. The only thing that overshadows her status as a trailblazer is what she accomplished in office. She’s the reason we have Social Security. She led the fight to end child labor, to establish a minimum wage and to create the 40-hour work week. She tried to establish universal health care… but hey, she was only human.
Ready for the sad part? She did all of that while under constant personal attacks. Her political opponents tried to impeach her. They spread a rumor that she hadn’t been born in America. Hmm… does any of that sound familiar? Ya know what Paula Abdul says… two steps forward and two steps back…
Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:
The documentary, “Summoned: Frances Perkins and the General Welfare.”
The book, “The Woman Behind the New Deal,” by Kirstin Downey
The Frances Perkins Center website
“Frances Perkins” entry on the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Website
