Frances Perkins deserves to be every American's hero and role model. It is a national shame that so relatively few of us have so much as heard of her.

Thanks, Rebakah. Eloquent as always. Poetry with urgency. Looking back so we can look forward. Appreciate your gift for writing, your history-informed outlooks, and your scientific (and moral) frameworks. You weave them together like it's easy to do.

Great tribute Rebekah. I knew only bits of Perkins' story. I went back and did some reading about her after your article. Thank you, this is a great day to remember this great woman.

So timely to remind us how she (and you) have turned catastrophe into opportunity!
