Words From — or about — Women, March 11

An ode to Rosie the Riveter, the archetypical American woman who staffed factories in the absence of men soldiering during World War II:

“While other girls attend a favorite cocktail bar,
Sipping dry martinis, munching caviar;
There’s a girl who’s really putting them to shame —
Rosie is her name.
All day long, whether rain or shine,
She’s part of the assembly line,
She’s making history, working for victory,
Rosie, Rosie, Rosie, Rosie, Rosie, Rosie the Riveter”
