Purpose of Meeting
DEAR MISS PERKINS reveals the remarkable feats of a woman who channeled individual responsibility toward widespread structural change, and whose innovative policies and solutions shaped real people’s daily lives. This deeply researched biography illustrates how Perkins repeatedly pushed limits and tested boundaries for the greater good. Perkins was the first woman to serve in a presidential cabinet, the longest-serving labor secretary, and an architect of the New Deal.
