    California State Railroad Museum: And here in the Railroad...
  • Tip Rating:
  • And here in the Railroad Museum, in the shop, I met for the first time Rosie the Riveter. On posters and stickers. She is the symbol and the nickname of the women, who worked in the wartime industry in WW2.
    Her poster 'We Can Do It!' was made by J.Howard Miller. Rosie has her own website http://www.rosietheriveter.org and a memorial in Richmond, CA.

    I like Rosie. She remembers me of the Dutch women, who worked hard in 1940-45 to give food to their family and try to keep the house warm. Not especially in the war industry, but to 'keep the home fires burning'. In a way she reminds me of my own mother.

     I have a Rosie the Riveter sweatshirt -- bought it during a road trip at a Cracker Barrel restaurant!

     What a shame it rained for you, but at least you made the most of it. That sounds a fabulous museum and I never knew of Rosie - quite a symbol.
