Frances Perkins
Champion of the American Worker
Author: Ruth C. MonsellPublisher: Islandport Press
This middle-grade biography introduces young readers to Frances Perkins, the first woman to serve as a Presidential cabinet member and an extraordinary person who changed America. Perkins was a force in the mid-twentieth century who strived to improve the lives and safety of American workers of all ages. But before she became a changemaker, she was a girl growing up in New England, encouraged by her grandmother to project her voice, and then a young woman attending Mount Holyoke College. Eventually, Perkins emerged as the chief architect of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s famous New Deal and was instrumental in instituting workers’ rights and benefits. Frances Perkins describes the events, places, and people who had a lifetime impact on Perkins and influenced her work. The book serves to inspire middle schoolers to speak up for the greater good,not for fame, but simply to make the world a better place.
