Does Rosie the Riveter Legacy Live On?


Listen Later

In this episode of the Sparky Live podcast, host Lia Lamela interviews Mae Krier, one of the original Rosie the Riveters. Mae shares her experiences working at Boeing during World War II, her advocacy work, and her efforts to honor women on the home front. She discusses the importance of respect, the role of women in society, and the need for equal pay. 
Mae's journey from being a riveter at Boeing during World War II to receiving the Congressional Gold Medal is nothing short of inspiring. She's a living testament to the power of resilience and determination, and her stories from the Great Depression to the present day are a must-listen.
I hope Mae's story sparks your curiosity and inspires you as much as it did mine!
