Women served in World War II in the home front. Rosie The Riveter Trust – National Park is dedicated to preserving these memories. We recommend rosietheriveter.org to view oral histories.

Betty Reid Soskin, 98, worked in Richmond’s shipyard during the war and shares her memories with visitors. (Zuma Press/Alamy)
Betty is featured in a Vimeo documentary, No Time to Waste. This is “the story of a 98-year-old National Park Ranger described as “Bette Davis, Angela Davis and Yoda, all rolled into one.”
I had the privilege to meet her as a graduate student at the @ncph conference in #Monterey, CA.
