you know, francis perkins was a college graduate and eleanor of roosevelt was not that was a big gulf in those days but their relationship grew closer over the years as the time went on and they also be they actually eleanor francis and fdr formed a very effective trio together fdr would propose an idea francis perkins would consider how to make it possible. and eleanor threw her enormously popular newspaper columns would explain in simple words why that was a useful program and why it was needed. so she would be the public relations side of the story the three of them were enormously effective together. but francis was still a little nervous around eleanor. eleanor could be tough she cut people out when she decided she didn't like them anymore and francis was a little nervous around eleanor. but at the end of their lives they had they they came together in a very intimate way and there's a really beautiful picture at a 50th anniversary commemoration of the triangle shirtwaist fire and eleanor roosevelt and francis perkins are sitting together up at the podium. they're all giving they

yeah, a lot of people find it surprising that you have individuals like eleanor roosevelt opposing the era and she was that i was fascinating to learn so she's very much what i call liberal protectionist. so the anti-era side i describe as protectionism or protectionist. and i should just point out for people who haven't read my book the way that i'm using the term protectionism in my study. i'm not referring exclusively to advocates a special labor legislation. so for those that don't know special labor legislation or special labor laws arose and the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a way to regulate women's working conditions and shield women from economic exploitation. so these were sex-specific labor laws that determined the jobs and tasks that women were allowed to perform right at regulated their work hours for prohibited them from working at night in certain instances. sometimes gave them minimum minimum wage laws, but these these regulations were really based on the idea that all women were mothers or potential mothers and women's roles in the home necessity the extra spec

like eleanor roosevelt, she closed the era. people like francis perkins, the first secretary, the first one secretary of labor, she is typically cast as a hero of women's history. she also hosted the e.r.a.. it begs the question, what is really going on? what is motivating people to be opposed or to support it? i really want to figure out what the dividing line was. >> we are going to talk about some of this, those dividing lines and sort of the strange thing that came together for it or against it. but i want to also set the scene on what life was like for women after the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920. how they had the right to vote, but little else in terms of the rights. women didn't have the right to vote. so tell us what life was like in terms of rights for women after suffrage. >> that is a great question. before i get into why the 19th unanswered as a springboard for the original conflict, i want to say in the argument of my book, so people understand how i'm getting at it. the main argument is that the original

she was a real fireball, very much like eleanor roosevelt, but unlike eleanor roosevelt she had a relationship with men and women. >> okay, thank you. what was the background and incentive for men? were there any who championed women's struggle for achievement and equality? >> you know, that's a really good session -- question. there were a number of good guys in the west. demonstrably more than in the east or the south, particularly the south, not so many suffragist men there. i think a lot of men knew -- one man said my wife is a smart as any man and smarter than most. like, there's just a sense especially in the settler society where everybody was pitching in. the women were working as hard as the man and doing a lot of the stuff the men did, and it was just in that kind of practical and pragmatic culture. like, why would you say that she couldn't vote when she does everything that i do? so i think there was a real general fairness. like i mentioned in the speech, the washington territory in 1854, the territory was one year old, and suffrage lost by one vote. they were men. voting. i think

now one of the supporters of the temperance cause was eleanor roosevelt, which is not surprising for several reasons one is she was very involved involved in the suffragist movement. the other was her family history of severe alcoholism her father had been severely alcoholic and died when she was a small child. she had alcoholic uncles eventually an alcoholic brother one of her children had some pretty bad problems with it. so she was not a fan of drinking. fdr on the other hand mina was a social drinker so he kind of called himself a damp. until it became politic to become a wet. so is the the century is moving on after you are becomes assistant secretary of the navy to josephus daniels who was a newspaper publisher from raleigh, north carolina a great advocate of temperance and really josephus daniels is assistant secretary of the navy under woodrow wilson his big cause was wiping out sin, which if you've ever met a sailor, you know, what a tall ordered that is and he banned any beverage stronger than coffee on ships bases and even in the officers' mess which is why we still call a

she and eleanor roosevelt both made passionate pitches on waller's behalf. shortly after world war ii she joined the congress on racially quality on an integrated journey of reconciliation an early freedom ride if you like. she also set up a law practice in new york and her work ledgered to a thorough review of many state laws on discrimination culminating in her voluminous states laws laws on race and color. interestingly she was invited to do this by the methodist church who wanted to you know, understand policies around the country. and so that was really one of her first big contracts there thurgood marshall. refer to this work as the bible that lay behind his arguments in the landmark desegregation case brown versus board of education in 1954, by the way. he also relied on one of her papers from law school that pauly had written to point out how discrimination was a badge of inferiority for black students. you may remember these studies of dolls, right? that weren't used in that in that case. in 1956 polly was hired by the firm paul weiss. well there sh

while president the vice president and was in the he received a call from the white house from eleanor roosevelt and. that was the call. that made all the difference in world. he was called to the white house and he would, as a senator, said others not to see the president, but to become the president of the united states. so we feel very close. we still call it the board of education. we don't play cards there, have refreshments anymore. but it is a place of history for us. again, when an honored is to be with the truman family who keep alive the noble spirit of our nation's 33rd president, it thank you and thank you, thomas polley. and a special to congressman russ carnahan and senator jean who worked from day one to help make this occasion. and as mr. cleaver said, so many people for a long time. today we gather to celebrate harry truman and the greatest gift he gave to nation, his unhealed dying commitment to democracy. it was this fervent belief drove him to don our nation's uniform to fight in during the first world war to defend people's interest for a decade here and for these hallowed h

essentially communism and could have been devised by a composite personality labeled stalin and eleanor roosevelt. the opposition to the policies wasn't confined to the editorial pages despite the rhetorical commitment to the object of journalism. so, in june of 1935, he directed his editors to not call the tax bill the ridgeville which is roosevelt's title forget about instead soak the 50, the saving were the prosperous. later that summer, this is again 35, he ordered his editors to use the word role deal instead of new steel in the news stories about roosevelt domestic program. so, mccormick took even less dtime to decide the president s worse than stalin. mccormick was recognized as deeply reactionary at the time. one critic called him the greatest mind of the 14th century. [laughter] he f despised all the new deal programs from the beginning and was particularly upset with roosevelt for recognizing the usoviet union in november of 1933. and if so, over the next several years he repeatedly warned that the new deal in danger to the constitution, co-opted the nation and enslaved the american peo
