Some may have a wife and\or daughters, but we all have Mothers, Grandmothers, Sisters, Aunts, cousins, some of whom lived through or served during WWII. So, perhaps there is some interest in this event at the WWII Museum - also live streamed and available after.

"We Can Do It!: Female Achievements in the Workplace Since World War II"

March 21 | 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. (CT)
A 5:30 p.m. reception precedes this event.

Cost: Free

The wartime image of Rosie the Riveter—a working woman serving sleeves-up on the Home Front—has become an icon for strong women across many US industries. During World War II, millions of those "Rosies" blazed a path by taking factory jobs traditionally occupied by men. More than 80 years later, women are now leaders in industries and fields that were only dreamed of before and during World War II.

Join The National WWII Museum as we pay tribute to these women and commemorate National Rosie the Riveter Day by hearing from local, modern-day trailblazers about their experiences in the workforce, with a historical overview given by Kim Guise, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Services.
