There were absolutely no effective laws that regulated the number of hours they were permitted to work. There were no provisions which guarded their health nor adequately looked after their compensation in case of injury. Those things seemed very wrong. I was young and was inspired with the idea of reforming, or at least doing what I could, to help change those abuses.” ⁣ ⁣ Perkins did exactly that. As Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Secretary of Labor, she was instrumental in crafting the New Deal, the minimum wage, overtime laws, unemployment benefits, Social Security, protections to reduce workplace accidents, laws against child labor, and the 40-hour work week. She did it all as the first woman to serve in the U.S. cabinet. #gutsywomen」9月2日 23時02分
