The Woman Behind the New Deal: The Life and Legacy of Frances Perkins, Social Security, Unemployment Insurance,and the Minimum Wage

â€œKirstin Downeyâ€™s lively, substantive andâ€”dare I sayâ€”inspiring new biography of Perkins . . . not only illuminates Perkinsâ€™ career but also deepens the known contradictions of Rooseveltâ€™s character.â€ â€”Maureen Corrigan, NPR Fresh Air
Â
One of Franklin Delano Rooseveltâ€™s closest friends and the first female secretary of labor, Perkins capitalized on the presidentâ€™s political savvy and popularity to enact most of the Depression-era programs that are today considered essential parts of the countryâ€™s social safety network.
