The current financial crisis is widely described as the nations worst since the Great Depression. With the comparisons to the 1930's has come a renewed focus on the New Deal, the government initiative of social programs and public service jobs launched by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

A new book argues that no voice in the FDR administration was more influential in shaping the New Deal than Labor Secretary, Miss Frances Perkins, the first-ever woman cabinet member in the United States. The book is called The Woman Behind the New Deal: The Life of Frances Perkins, FDRs Secretary of Labor and His Moral Conscience.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
