Rosie's Mom - Forgotten Women of the First World War

Past event
Apr 9, 2016, 2 PM

Join us as we Celebrate 100 Years of the Lanpher Memorial Library with the Vermont Humanities Council Speakers Bureau Program: "Rosie's Mom: Forgotten Women of the First World War", on Saturday, April 9th at 2:00.

One hundred years ago, a full generation before Rosie the Riveter, women rolled up their sleeves and entered war industries where they had never been welcome before. They ran powerful machinery, learned new skills, and faced the sullen hostility of the men in the shops. In this illustrated lecture, historian Carrie Brown reveals their courage and their hard work, and explores how these women helped shape the work that their more famous daughters would do in the next World War.

This program is free and open to the public.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 30th at 2:00 for a visit with author, Ron Krupp. Ron wrote: "The Woodchuck's Guide to Gardening" and "The Woodchuck Returns to Gardening". He'll help us gear up for the gardening season with a discussion about Organic Gardening methods.
