In August 2024, the Biden Administration signaled plans to designate the Maine homestead of former Labor Secretary Frances Perkins — the first woman to serve in a presidential cabinet and a key architect of the New Deal — as a national monument. This happened just after President Biden dropped out of the presidential race, clearing the way for Kamala Harris to possibly become the first female president. The current potentially historic moment for American women is deeply connected to Perkins becoming a rising icon in American historical memory.
