This was a very good book about an exceptionally strong woman. I know I wouldn‘t have made some of the choices that she did, especially when it came to work/life balance. I would always choose my family first, but there is no right or wrong. I loved learning about Francis Perkins and about FDR. I‘d never heard of Miss Perkins before, and was surprised to learn that she had so much to do with the development of our social security system.
