Calls grow to honor Rosie the Riveters on the National Mall
Original: Honor the Rosies where they belong: On the National Mall
An opinion piece in The Hill argues that the women who worked in American factories and shipyards during World War II — the 'Rosie the Riveters' — deserve permanent recognition on the National Mall in Washington. The column says the Rosies' contribution to the war effort has not been honored at the scale of other WWII memorials, and urges a monument alongside the capital's major commemorative sites.
Why now: Advocacy for a World War II home front memorial is drawing attention to how American history commemorates women's wartime work.
