“They carry different diseases than we do (The Help, 2011)” said Hilly Holbrook as she struggled to hide the fact she was dying to use the bathroom during a card game at Elizabeth Leefolt’s home.

Her outlook of society was to help the poor, promote the working individual and to improve the quality of life for all. Perkins witnessed a fire that killed helpless factory workers where she realized her role in the world. “Seared on my mind, as well as my heart- a never to be forgotten reminder of why I must spend my life fighting conditions that could permit such tragedy” (“Frances Perkins (1880-1965),” 2016).
