On February 22, 1933, Roosevelt1 asked Frances Perkins to be secretary of labor. She replied
that, if she accepted, she would push for the abolition of child labor and the establishment of
unemployment insurance, old-age pensions, a minimum wage, and a limit on maximum hours of
work. Roosevelt responded that she would “have to invent the way to do these things” and that
she should not “expect too much help from him.” She chose to accept the position. After some
opposition from organized labor, she was easily confirmed by the Senate and became secretary of
labor— “Madam Secretary,” the first woman to serve in a president’s cabinet. Perkins continued
to serve Roosevelt and his successor, Harry S Truman, as an advocate of government support of
workers and their families. Retiring in 1953, she wrote, lectured, and joined the faculty at Cornell
University.
