"Frances Perkins accepted the position as the first female Cabinet member only after President Franklin D. Roosevelt agreed to support her goals to improve working conditions for all people. She worked tirelessly to see them to fruition, and she set a standard of excellence that is a beacon for all of us who serve."
"Perkins is one of America's greatest labor leaders, and that's not hyperbole. She cemented the idea that if you're working a full-time job, you shouldn't have to live in poverty."
