Vineland Historical & Antiquarian Society - New Jersey Women in World War II / 11-11-25

Join VHAS as it hosts author Patricia Chappine for a presentation and discussion of her 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. African American women fought a double war―one against the nation's enemies and another against discrimination. Historian Patricia Chappine explores the pivotal roles that New Jersey women played in World War II.
