The U.S. entry into World War II created an unprecedented demand for workers. Rosie the Riveter was born-the symbol of working women during World War II. The documentary follows the stories told by the women themselves-five former 'Rosies' who recall their histories working during the war. Their testimony is interwoven with archival recruitment films, stills, posters, ads and music from the period which contrast their experiences with the popular legend and mythology of Rosie the Riveter.
