The Real Rosie the Riveter

(#1323) from Kentucky Life Program 1323 (2007)

Beckie Voyles talks about the life of her grandmother, Rose Will Monroe, a Somerset native who was “discovered” working in a Michigan airplane factory and became the real-life representation of Rosie the Riveter. Actress Angela Bartley enacts scenes from Monroe’s life, and former aircraft inspectors Melenee Roberts and Norine McKinney recall life in World War II-era factories.
