I’m generally a fan of Kathleen Krull’s work anyway, and this one didn’t disappoint. She has a way of writing biographies in a very approachable manner, including lots of information while really just telling a story. I think this book is very timely these days, too, as it shares the story of someone on the forefront of the movement to empower women, and it also brings out the themes of righting the wrongs we see in our society. My whole life I’ve heard of the New Deal in conjunction with FDR, but this book showed me it wasn’t all his idea; he just agreed to back the ideas of Frances Perkins.
