Rosie the Riveter
I may have already pointed this out, but there are some really excellent color pictures from the 1930s and 40s in the Library of Congress’s Flickr photostream. “Photographers working for the United States Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI) created the images between 1939 and 1944.” Neat look at an era that we usually only see in black and white.
P.S. – the same lady, but with a smile.
Those are some great shots!
I imagine you know that your grandmother Strope worked in a Towanda silk factory during the war making parachutes. Making her children what are called Rosebuds. So you must be a Rosebud once removed.
That is so awesome!!!
