GOVERNING WARTIME AMERICA: A FINE PHOTO OF ROOSEVELT AND HIS CABINET IN THE WHITE HOUSE
A fine photo, taken in the midst of World War II, capturing a cabinet meeting taking place in the White House. The President sits at the center of the photograph offering only a slight smile for the photographer. Frances Perkins, the first female cabinet member in American History, sits at the front left, her chin on her hand, looking directly into the camera. Roosevelt considered cabinet members to be his official family and took great care in choosing them, but, he rarely took the Cabinet's advice on major policy issues.
