Talese / Doubleday] Hardcover When Frances Perkins arrived in Washington, at the height of the Great Depression, few could have possibly known the mipact that her presence would have on the landscape of American business and society. Though, as readers of this remarkable biography will come to see, Perkin's contributions as Secretary of Labor changed the course of American history. In 'The Woman Behind the New Deal' award-winning journalist Kirstin Downey provides readers with the incredible story of this intrepid woman's life, while painting a vivid and witty portrait of the woman who created Social Security and solidified the state of labor as we now know it.
