| Answer: C:
Ellen S. Woodward
Ellen Woodward was at one time the
second highest-ranking woman in the Roosevelt Administration (after
Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins). Prior to coming to the Social
Security Board, she was the Administrator of the Works Progress
Administration. The daughter of a U.S. Senator from Mississippi,
Mrs. Woodward was a state government legislator and official before
coming to Washington. After the Social Security Board was abolished
in 1946 and replaced by the Social Security Administration (SSA),
she served with the Federal Security Agency (the parent organization
of SSA) until her retirement in 1954. |
