Join Detroit History Tours’ Bailey Sisoy Isgro, as we dive deep into the history of the women who would come to be known as "Rosies". From the art, advertisements, and propaganda, to the real life women who built planes, tanks, jeeps, and ammunition, Bailey will explore the lasting legacy of Women War Ordnance Workers in Detroit.
Learn the reason Rosie wears polka dots and coveralls, and how she came to be called Rosie in the first place. Explore the factories, warehouses, and companies where the Rosies worked in Detroit, and celebrate their part in making the city The Arsenal of Democracy.
EVERYONE WELCOME.
