“Rosie the Riveter” was a true American icon, answering the call to work during the war years. There were millions of “Rosies” and millions of stories are being brought to life over half a century later. In his latest book, Women’s Work in WWII, aviation historian John Cilio combines photographs and the stories of the women who stepped into jobs with minimal training and no experience in order to keep America running.
