Show moreThis thesis examines the career of Frances Perkins prior to her appointment as Secretary of Labor in 1933. Historians have generally ignored these early years. Yet it was during this time that many of her truly dynamic ideas and programs emerged. Perkins' background is traced from her school days through her tenure with the Consumers' League, the New York State Factory Investigating Commission, and the New York State Industrial Commission. The influence of progressivism on her thought is also discussed. An attempt is made to illustrate that the New Deal was not a new deal for Frances Perkins, but rather a logical step forward in the program for social justice she had promoted throughout her career.
