Annotation:
The Rosie the Riveter Memorial website provides information about the Rosie the Riveter World War II/Home Front National Historic Park in Richmond, California. The park is on the site of the most productive shipyard during the period and the memorial honors American women's labor during WWII. The website has images, sheet music, and illustrative stories from the time, and articles about the memorial. Most importantly there is a request for stories from women who worked on the home front during the war. Respondents can mail a form and offer papers, photographs, or souvenirs from the war or offer to give an interview. Alternatively, they can email their story directly to the National Park Service.
