Perkins's legacy continues to live on in our society today. With the five-day workweek, fire and food safety regulations, unemployment insurance, and Social Security, how has your life or the lives of your family members been impacted by her work?

Even though Frances is no longer with us, she and her work impacts each and everyday. Without SS my mother, when my father died, would have been unable to live. She received a portion of my father’s SS as a widow. It literally saved her from living without any income. And starting over at 62 is not easy!!
