American Rosie the Riveter Association is trying to locate women in the area who worked on the home front during WWII.
Thousands of women worked to support the war effort as riveters, welders, electricians, inspectors in plants, sewing clothing and parachutes for the military, ordnance workers, rolling bandages, clerical and many other jobs such as volunteer workers collecting scrap metals and other critical materials. These women have stories of their WWII experiences that are of historical value and perhaps have never been told. American Rosie the Riveter Association would like to acknowledge these women and have their stories placed in our Archives.
American Rosie the Riveter Association is a patriotic/non-profit organization whose purpose is to recognize and preserve the history and legacy of working women during WWII. This organization was founded in 1998 by Dr. Frances Carter, Birmingham, Alabama and now has over 4,500 members nationwide.
If you are a woman (or descendant of a woman) who worked during WWII, or if you are just interested in more information, call 1-888-557-6743 or e-mail americanrosietheriveter2@yahoo.com. We can also be contacted at American Rosie the Riveter, P.O. Box 188, Kimberly, AL 35091.
