Frances Perkins (born Fannie Coralie Perkins; April 10, 1880 – May 14, 1965) was an American workers-rights advocate who served as the U.S. Secretary of Labor from 1933 to 1945, the longest serving in that position. In addition she also made history as the first woman and first LGBT person to serve in the U.S. Cabinet. As a loyal supporter of her longtime friend, Franklin D.
