About the Event
Sociological Book Club: Thursday, September 25 11:00 am: This best-selling historical fiction about Frances Perkins, U.S. Secretary of Labor, appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt will take you back in history. Ms. Perkins was the first woman appointed to a presidential cabinet post and known by many historians as the “architect” of the New Deal as well as Social Security. Despite an initial sparring of minds, Frances is anointed as FDR's right hand, landing them both in the White House with both being regarded as heroes extricating the country from the depths of the Depression.
