On Sunday July 24 at 2 PM, historian, writer, and curator, Carrie Brown will be speaking at the American Precision Museum, 196 Main Street, Windsor VT on Rosie's Mom: Forgotten Women of the First World War.

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, Carrie 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 war.

Free and open to the public. Made possible in part by the Vermont Humanities Council.

The museum's current exhibit is Shaping America.

American Precision Museum is open 10 AM - 5 PM daily.
Sundays: Admission by donation to the museum exhibits.
