Rosie the Riveter isn’t just a cultural icon. She is the symbol for the millions of women who took over the jobs left behind by men fighting in World War 2. Now, our local branch of the National Park Service will honor these so-called SWONs -- the Shipbuilding Women of the Navy – in a weekend-long celebration at the Charlestown Navy Yard. The event is called Rosies Invade the Yard. Guests: Maria Cole, supervisory park ranger for the Boston National Historical Park; and Jocelyn Gould, park ranger in the Division of Interpretation and Education at Boston National Historical Park.
