[quote=Anonymous]Madame Secretary Frances Perkins Frances Perkins (1880–1965) was first woman to hold a cabinet position in US (served as US Secretary of Labor from 1933 to 1945. She trained as an economist and worked as sociologist and observed extremely harsh working conditions for the poor (such as children losing limbs while working heavy machinery). This spurred her on to be a fierce advocate for workers rights. As a key architect of the New Deal, she championed Social Security, federal minimum wage, overtime pay, unemployment insurance, and the abolition of child labor. Frances was a devout Episcopalian and is now honored as an Episcopal saint. [/quote]
