ABOUT THE BOOK:
After moving to New York and throwing herself into the social scene, Frances Perkins met such people as millionaire socialite Mary Harriman Rumsey, then-budding author Sinclair Lewis, and the brilliant but troubled reformer Paul Wilson (with whom she falls deeply in love).
Frances meets a young lawyer named Franklin Delano Roosevelt at a tea dance and over the next twenty years, they will form a historic partnership that will carry them both to the White House.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Stephanie Dray stands as one of the best historical fiction novelists and is beloved for writing about historical women who lived in exciting and important times—often in the shadows of more famous men.
From Eliza Hamilton and Martha “Patsy” Jefferson to Adrienne Lafayette, she has brought to life the stories of important women in a way few others are able.
And now, she has brought a riveting look at one of the most unsung heroes in American history in BECOMING MADAM SECRETARY.
This richly dramatic book traces the life of American heroine Frances Perkins, the first female Cabinet Secretary, who pulled the nation out of the Great Depression.
