"ROSIE THE RIVETER" CEREMONY
(these women have to be at least in their 90s)
My grandmother was a welder during WWI. She was very proud of that, and I think knowing that part of her history helped the women in our family not afraid to do things often left up to men.
My great Great Aunt was a Crane Driver at a north of England Steel works during WW1, she went back during WW2 in her forties, we owe as much to these women as we do to the men who who fought for the freedoms we are allowing to be stripped away from us by corporate opportunist and the useless, greedy politicians of today.
My Mother was one of these women during WW2, she would have been 100 this year.
