Times were very hard and the people looked to the government to try to find a solution to the problems. A woman named Frances Perkins helped find those answers. She joined the government and was the secretary of labor under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was very unusual for a woman to hold such an important position. But Frances was certainly up to the job. Find out about Frances and how things got so much better because of her.
