“New Jersey Women in World War II” with author Patricia Chappine at [words]

Author Patricia Chappine will be at [words] in Maplewood to talk about her new book “New Jersey Women in World War II”.

Real-life Rosie the Riveters worked the lines in New Jersey’s factories, such as those of General Motors’ Eastern Aircraft Division, while women on the vulnerable coast enforced blackout orders. Others sold war bonds, planted victory gardens and conserved materials for the war effort. Historian Patricia Chappine explores the pivotal roles that New Jersey women played in World War II.

This event is free and open to the public.
