""[This film] traces the rise of social conscience in this country: from the outrage that followed the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in 1911...to the revolutionary legislation of the New Deal: Social Security, unemployment insurance, the minimum wage and maximum hours of work, the end to child labor. This is a film about the complex Frances Perkins, a New Deal "radical," a believer in state's rights, a driving force behind those reforms which shapes our society...Broadway and film actress Frances Sternhagen presents Perkins' character on camera using the words from her Oral History, on record at Columbia University, and from lectures, letters and writings. Whole conversations with FDR, Al Smith and others of her era are retold here as she remembered them." -- Vineyard Video website."@en
""As important as the [Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and Susan B. Anthony] were to their movements, so was Frances Perkins to the New Deal activism of the 1930's. Frances Perkins rose higher in the United States government than any woman ever had, serving as the first female member of the U.S. Cabinet for twelve years. Her career in government spanned three decades, and during that time helped shape 30 laws with the sole purpose of improving working conditions and quality of life for the working class. One of FDR's most closely trusted advisors and allies, Frances Perkins was instrumental in writing now-famous New Deal legislation, including the introduction of pensions, unemployment insurance, minimum wage, and an end to child labor. Perhaps her greatest contribution was being named by FDR as chairwoman of the President's Committee on Economic Security. The purpose of this committee was to investigate the possibility of national social insurance, and her work here led directly to the passage of the Social Security Act. She worked tirelessly to lobby for this legislation, and she was known by the Roosevelt Administration as the mother of the Social Security Act. You May Call Her Madam Secretary is the story of this extraordinary woman whose anguish over the misery of workers in the emerging industrial world of her youth led her to pursue a career as a social reformer, at a time when the social justice movement was at its zenith"--Alexander Street Press WWW site, viewed Feb. 18, 2015."
