In my view, this article does not include enough about the interesting professional relationship between FDR and Frances Perkins. I will try to edit the piece and add something.

[edit] birth date in the article is not correct--correct year is 1880

71.217.36.173 19:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)While doing a research paper about Frances Perkins, the discrepancy between birth dates was brought up. The discrepancy probably originated with Frances herself, trying to shave years off her age. This source mentions 1882 as her birth year; others mention 1880. As a beginning genealogist, I accessed the 1880 federal census and found Frances and her family. Fred and Susan Perkins are listed as living in Boston along with 2 month old daughter, Fannie. Therefore, her corrct birth year is 1880, not 1882 as mentioned in this article and in another online encyclopedia.
