Knowledge for Life: Rosie the Riveter and her Sisters: The Women of World War II
Event box
Rosie the Riveter is the story of the women who sustained our nation and its troops during WWII. This presentation explores how they proved their capabilities by stepping into the places of the men who went to war, what they accomplished in jobs and situations that were considered outside the sphere of women, and how they paved the way for the feminist revolution of the 60’s.
Presented by Trish Chambers, an award-winning speaker who has appeared on the History Channel, radio programs, and in film. Trish is the author of two non-fiction books: "Civil War Women: Their Roles and Legacies" and "Lighthouses of the New Jersey Lighthouse Challenge". She is the recipient of the Business Advisory Council National Leadership Award.
