I always looked up to Frances Perkins before this book due to her being such a trailblazer for women in government but I admire her so much more after this book! Stephanie Dray does an absolutely beautiful job mixing historical fiction with real events in Frances Perkins's life! While I did feel like the book dragged in a few places the short chapters and continued interest in her life kept me going! This is a must read for all historical fiction fans!
