Oil Portrait by Ruth Monsell
My biography of Frances Perkins was released on April 16, 2024. Thank you for your support and interest! To easily order, go to the link above. To order a personally dedicated and author signed copy, write to RuthMonsell@gmail.com.
​
The first new full length biography of Perkins in 15 years, it represents over a decade of research, interviews, writing, re-writing, editing, drawing, painting, communications with publishers, first readers and editors, finding manuscript readers and blurb writers, and picture research. It was written to be accessible to teens as well as adults and includes 44 photos.
​
Book readings and signings will began in April in S.C. and May in Maine.​ In October I've been invited to speak in Boston at a church where Frances Perkins spoke in the 1950's!
