As a social servant, government activist, and social scientist, Lathrop was a driving force in expanding the roles of women in public life during the early 1900s.

Readers will learn about her impact as the first woman to lead a United States federal agency. Created in 1912 to promote child welfare, the Children's Bureau became a platform for her work in social reform. This text follows her efforts to challenge social norms and her role in shaping Progressive reform movements. It is an essential read for those interested in social and urban history, women's history, and the evolution of government activism in America.
