Rosie the Riveters of Iowa Presentation

Linda Betsinger McCann has been doing genealogy research for over 40 years. She gives genealogy the credit for her writing books on Iowa history. She has had 15 books about Iowa history published. “Rosie the Riveter was a promotional campaign to encourage women to go to work during World War II. The men had left jobs to fight in the war, and women were needed to fill those jobs. Iowa had 70 companies with military contracts during WWII. Linda was able to speak with 35 women who worked during the war. She shares their memories when she speaks.”
