Frances Perkins: The Woman Behind the New Deal

She changed America. And you’ve probably never heard her name.

Frances Perkins was the first woman to serve in a U.S. presidential cabinet. She was the force behind the 40-hour work week, Social Security, child labor laws, and collective bargaining protections. Her legacy shaped the American workplace as we know it.

We ares attending and proud to amplify this important event hosted by the Woman’s Club of Wisconsin as a reminder that civic engagement starts with learning from the past.

Frances Perkins wasn’t just in the room; she built the table.
