28: Frances Perkins Fights For Workers Rights (Part 1)

28: Frances Perkins Fights For Workers Rights (Part 1)

Frances Perkins was the first woman to serve in a presidential cabinet. 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. In this episode, we find out how this remarkable woman got her start. Did it help that her birth name was Fanny??? Possibly! Bad names build character!

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
