Linda McCann presents Rosie the Riveters of Iowa

Rosie the Riveter was a name used to encourage women to go to work during WWII. They needed to take the place of the men who were fighting the war. Iowa had 55 businesses that used women to meet production of military needs. Linda was able to speak with 35 women who had worked as Rosie's. Some worked in Iowa and others went to the West Coast. She shares their experiences when she speaks. Linda will have copies of all her books for sale. 6-7:30 p.m.
