with Rebecca Brenner, the author of
Dear Miss Perkins: A Story of Frances Perkins's Efforts To Aid Refugees From Nazi Germany
(books will be available for purchase at the event)

In collaboration with the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum.

Rebecca was awarded a Cokie Roberts Fellowship from the National Archives Foundation and a Rubenstein Center Research Fellowship from the White House Historical Association.

This outstanding, inspiring new narrative of the first woman to serve in a president’s cabinet reveals the full, never-before-told story of her role in saving Jewish refugees during the Nazi regime.

She was the first woman to serve in a presidential cabinet, the longest-serving Labor Secretary, and an architect of the New Deal. Yet beyond these celebrated accomplishments there is another dimension to Frances Perkins’s story. Without fanfare, and despite powerful opposition, Perkins helped save the lives of countless Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany.
