I think we all need to read stories and see more places like this. I have worked on the aerospace industry for most of my career. I have been to plants were women used to assembly planes during the war. #TPThursday

I didn’t know there was a museum dedicated to Rosie. I would love to go to it. So very cool!

I know the photo but not the name Rosie the Riveter. I’m glad this museum celebrates all the Rosie’s.

In reply to Marilyn Jones. I think you'd enjoy it, being able to fill in the voices you hear in the exhibit with your mother's voice, and to compare the stories.

My mother was a “Rosie” and was honored on Capital Hill right at the time they were first planning the Rosie the Riveter Museum.I have long wanted to visit the museum and I appreciate you sharing your experience. I hope to get there one day!

In reply to Tom Bartel. The home front does tend to get ignored, doesn't it? I think you'll find it interesting!

Thanks for this and for all the detail. I’m a World War II history buff and it never really occurred to me to visit US manufacturing and ship building sites that were so important to the war effort. I’m going to check it out next time we go to SF.

Fascinating! I had no idea that Rosie the Riveter was a real person or that that there was a museum about her.

In reply to Doreen Pendgracs. Since it was the same war effort in both countries, I suppose that they were called Rosies up there as well. Happy New Year to you too!
