Frances Perkins Money Quote saying she was driven by desire to see fair labor laws protecting children and poorly paid women as Roosevelt’s Secretary of Labor. Frances Perkins said:
 

 

“From the time I was in college I was horrified at the work that many women and children had to do in factories. 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” — Frances Perkins
