Gail Murphy: Colorado's Rosie the Riveter Chautauqua
1:00 PM
Rawlings library
Description:
"Rosie the Riveter," the name given to women war workers during World War II, lived and worked throughout the United States welding, making bullets, and doing a wide variety of factory jobs for the war effort.

Between 1941 and 1945, Colorado had its own "Rosies" working at the Remington Arms Factory in Denver. Located at the site of the present day Denver Federal Center, the Denver Ordnance Plant produced as many as six million bullets a day for U.S. troops. "Gail Murphy" is a composite character drawn from the records and memories of these women war workers. Free and open to the public. Complimentary refreshments.
