Across America, women produced everything from ships and tanks, to ammunition and uniforms, in spectacular quantities. Their skill, bravery, tenacity, and spirit became a rallying point of American patriotism and aided in defining Detroit as the Arsenal of Democracy. Even though women workers were invaluable to the war effort, they met with many challenges that their male counterparts never faced. Yet, for all of their struggles, their successes were monumental. Today, we refer to them as "Rosies"--A group of women defined not by the identity of a single riveter but by the collective might of hundreds of thousands of women whose labors helped save the world. Features informative, rhyming text by Bailey Sisoy Isgro and beautifully illustrated original artwork by Nicole Lapointe. The story begins with the start of the Second World War and the eventual need for women to join the American workforce as men shipped out to war. By the end of the story, readers will have a better understanding of who and what Rosie the Riveter really was, how Detroit became a wartime industrial powerhouse, and why the legacy of women war workers is still so important. A glossary is provided for more difficult concepts, as well as a timeline of events. 521 1 $a 008-012. 600 10 $a Rosie the Riveter $c (Symbolic character) $x Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women $x Juvenile literature. $x History $y 20th century $x Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Juvenile literature. $x Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Juvenile literature. $x Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a Detroit (Mich.) $x Juvenile literature. $x Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Lapointe, Nicole. 941 $a 1 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529015353.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95BE207CA17211EABF4F886D97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
