Rosie the Riveter & Beyond: How Women Helped Win WWII 

This informative presentation, accompanied by colorful slides and artifacts, highlights women’s important contribution to Victory in World War II. Speaker and Rosie expert Jeannette Gutierrez will delve into the many ways women did their part, including war production work, women in the armed forces, volunteer women, and celebrity influencers. We owe so much to Rosie & her sisters, and this presentation covers it all. Jeannette, a retired advertising professional, speaks on behalf of the Michigan Rosies, a proudly independent and Michigan-based nonprofit group goes beyond the costume to preserve Rosie's legacy in Michigan and beyond.
