About a hundred years ago, America
suffered a great economic depression. Many people lost
their savings, their jobs and their homes. Times were very
hard and the people looked to the government to try to
find a solution to the problems. A woman named Frances
Perkins helped find those answers. She joined the
government and was the secretary of labor under President
Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was very unusual for a woman to
hold such an important position. But Frances was certainly
up to the job. Find out about Frances and how things got
so much better because of her.
