Margaret's Reviews > The Only Woman in the Photo: Frances Perkins & Her New Deal for America

Those adults who most influence our lives as children can be our parents, grandparents, extended family, an educator, a neighbor or a stranger. There will be a statement they make, sometimes more than once, or a single act they complete which will resonate in our minds for the rest of our lives. At the time we might not be aware of their effect on us, but those words or that deed or gesture will come into our minds when we need it the most.

During his tenure, March 4, 1933 to April 12, 1945, as president of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt appointed the first woman to a position as a cabinet member. She faithfully served in that capacity during his presidency. The Only Woman in the Photo: Frances Perkins & Her New Deal for America (Atheneum Books for Young Readers, February 4, 2020) written by Kathleen Krull with illustrations by Alexandra Bye adeptly presents her life and service to her ideals and her country.
