In WWII, Some Amazing Women Proved They Could Do The Same Jobs As Men. That History Might Disappear.

During World War II, women entered the blue-collar workforce in huge numbers all over the country. One such place was the Willow Run factory in Michigan, where the woman who eventually became “Rosie the Riveter” worked.


That factory is about to be torn down, but there’s a group of people working frantically to try to purchase a small part of the plant and turn it into a museum. They’ve raised 85% of what they need, but with just one day left, there’s a chance they won’t get there. Check out the video. And then I’ll tell you how you can help.





The entire campaign is at SaveTheBomberPlant.org.




This video was made by Associated Press. We were alerted to it by Twitter user Rachael Berkey.


And once again, the campaign lives at SaveTheBomberPlant.org.
