Working women of WWII: American Rosie the Riveter Association looking for members
Published 6:42 am Saturday, December 14, 2019
The American Rosie the Riveter Association is trying to locate women who worked on the homefront during World War II. Thousands of women worked to support the war effort as riveters, welders, electricians, inspectors in plants, sewing clothing and parachutes for the military, ordnance workers, rolling bandages, clerical, farming, and many other jobs, such as volunteer workers collecting scrap metals and other critical materials.
These women have stories of their World War II experiences that are of historical value and perhaps have never been told.
The American Rosie the Riveter Association would like to acknowledge these women with a certificate and have their stories placed in our Archives.
If you are a woman or descendant of a woman who worked during World War II, or if you are just interested in more information, please check our website www.rosietheriveter.net or call the toll free number 1-888-557-6743 or e-mail americanrosietheriveter2@yahoo.com.
American Rosie the Riveter Association is a patriotic/non-profit organization whose purpose is to recognize and preserve the history and legacy of working women during World War II.
