[Michlib-l] Program Recommendation

[Arleen Wood]

Last week we had an interesting program on Rosie the Riveter presented 
by Baily Sisoy Isgro, owner of Detroit History Tours.  She wrote an 
award winning children's book on the topic and gave a wonderful program 
for our adult audience.

The program began with how the idea of Rosie the Riveter got started 
then moved to the variety of roles taken on by "Rosies", particularly in 
the Detroit area, as men joined the military.

Just a few of the topics discussed were the symbolism in the Norman 
Rockwell painting [and Saturday Evening Post cover], the Rosie the 
Riveter song by Kay Kyser,and Willow Run.
