If you’ve been catching up with “The Roosevelts,” Ken Burns’ new documentary series about Theodore, Franklin, and Eleanor Roosevelt, you probably spotted a Last Word “regular” in it by the name of Frances Perkins, Franklin Roosevelt’s Secretary of Labor and the first woman ever to serve in a president’s cabinet.
We here at The Last Word would like to remind you of the role Frances Perkins played in Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, especially in the creation of Social Security. Here’s a look back at Lawrence’s Rewrites on Frances Perkins.
