Rosenberg, Anna Marie

.Anna Rosenberg: Marshall's Right-Hand Woman > .

Anna Marie Rosenberg (née Lederer; July 19, 1901 – May 9, 1983), later Anna Rosenberg Hoffman, was an American public official and businesswoman.

A speech she made advocating women’s suffrage brought her to the attention of local political leaders. She managed campaigns for aldermen and assembly men in the early 1920s, and in 1924 she opened her own public relations firm, and specialized in employee and labor issues.
 
In 1934, Nathan Straus, regional director for the National Recovery Act, made her assistant. In 1936, she succeeded him as regional director. In 1937, she became regional director of the Social Security Board through 1943.
In 1941, she served in the Office of Defense Health and Welfare Services through 1942. In 1942, she served as regional director of the War Manpower Commission through 1945. Concurrently, 1941–1945, she consulted to the Retraining and Reemployment Administration. In 1944, when U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt sent her to Europe to report on the needs of American soldiers after their demobilization, she recommended education and supported the G.I. Bill of Rights.

After the war, she ran a consulting business, with customers that included large businesses and public figures. In late 1950, she was nominated for Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower and Personnel. Joseph McCarthy and his staff launched an all-out campaign to oppose her nomination due to alleged connections to the Communist Party, but she was recommended by the Senate Armed Services Committee. In spite of opposition, on November 15, 1950 she was named Assistant Secretary of Defense, a post she held until January 1953.
