About
Imported descriptionKnown as the first woman to hold a presidential cabinet position and the “Woman behind the New Deal,” Frances Perkins championed many labor rights that Americans enjoy today, including safety standards, Social Security, and shorter workweeks. Her impressive career and accomplishments, including as Secretary of Labor, opened the door for other women to hold high government positions.

From Wikipedia
Frances Perkins National Monument is a historic site that preserves the Perkins Homestead, a homestead at 478 River Road in Newcastle, Maine, United States. The 57-acre (23 ha) property, including its 1837 brick farmhouse, was designated a National Historic Landmark and a national monument for its association with the life of Frances Perkins (1880–1965), the first woman to hold a position in the United States Cabinet, who spent many years at the property, as a child and in her later years. The property was first listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009 as the Brick House Historic District.
