Enjoy learning about Rosie the Riveters of Iowa presented by one of our state’s most prolific researchers and writers – Linda McCann. Hosted by Manning Public Library.
“Rosie the Riveter” was the nickname given to women who worked in factories during World War II. Nationwide, hundreds of factories were converted from their normal production into making something for the war effort. The men had gone to fight the war, so the women stepped up and worked in the factories.
