Program Description

Event Details

During WWII, there was a special campaign sent out to encourage women to work outside the home. "Rosie the Riveter" was the name given to those women. Speaker Linda McCann interviewed 35 women from Iowa who worked as Rosies, and is here to share their stories with us for Women's History Month!

Copies of Linda's book will be available for purchase and signing at the event. The cost of the book is $20 payable by cash or check.
