Comments
In her junior and senior years, She joined thousands of young women across the United States who kept the country’s manufacturing plants in production of necessary products to help this nation’s military. This contingent of the labor force during the years 1941-1945 was later named “Rosie The Riveter” Work Force, which now with Chapters across America, was founded by Dr. Fran Carter of Birmingham. The “Rosies” are the honored women who worked in nontraditional roles to become the backbone of America’s support while men were serving in all branches of the military services.
