Ruth Monsell ’68 authored Frances Perkins: Champion of American Workers. Her novel was scheduled for publication on May 5, 2020 but the date has been delayed because of COVID-19. Her work was inspired by her visit to the Frances Perkins homestead in Newcastle, ME near Ruth’s home. Published by Islandport Press, Monsell’s novel is “an inspirational young adult biography of a little-known architect of the New Deal and the first female Cabinet Member.” Perkins served as the U.S. Secretary of Labor from 1933 to 1945.
I’d like to know when and where it is available so I could purchase it for our town library.
Thanks.
