The American Rosie the Riveter Association is trying to locate women in Hawaii who worked on the home front during World War II. Thousands of women worked to support the war effort as riveters, welders, electricians, inspectors, sewers of clothing and military parachutes, ordnance workers, clerks and many other jobs, such as collecting scrap metal.
These women have stories of their experiences that are of historical value, and the ARRA is in the process of collecting these stories.
The ARRA is a patriotic/nonprofit organization that aims to recognize and preserve the history and legacy of working women during WWII. The organization was founded in 1998 by Dr. Frances Cater of Birmingham, Ala. There are more than 4,000 members nationwide.
Women who worked during WWII, or descendants of women who did, may call 1-888-557-6743 or email americanrosietheriveter2@yahoo.com to share their stories.
