Climbing Trees on Women's Equality Day
tweeted by, Tom Perez @LaborSec 19m
A fun quote from my favorite former labor secretary, Frances Perkins, as we recognize Women's Equality Day today: https://www.facebook.com/LaborSecretary/posts/419182918185858 …
"A great quote for Women's Equality Day from the former labor secretary whose portrait hangs above my desk. As the only woman in President Franklin Roosevelt's Cabinet (and the first female Cabinet member in history), she didn't just hold her own. She was one of the most effective secretaries in the department's 100-year history, helping strengthen numerous protections for working Americans."
