Description
How many years will it be until you turn sixty-two? What year will that be? Once you've read Thanks to Frances Perkins, you?ll know why these are important questions--and why you may want to thank Frances Perkins. After Frances Perkins witnessed the Triangle Waist Factory fire in 1911, she was forever changed. While some activists pressed factory owners for change, Frances decided to work to bring about new laws that would force employers to treat people better and make workplaces safer. When she became Secretary of Labor in Franklin Delano Roosevelt?s administration?the first woman cabinet member?Frances had the opportunity to make real her bold vision of a country where no one was left out. As a result of the Social Security program that she created, we have built a society where we help one another.
