I so admire Frances Perkins, so thank-you for this vignette. But I had little idea of her losing her huge influence on FDR and the country as the years wore on. Yet she hung in there until the end of the administration - and seems to have made up with Eleanor by the time of JFK.
I just finished the historical novel based on her life: Becoming Madam Secretary by Stephanie Dray. Excellent read
