CONNECTICUT Corsair
chapter of the
American Rosie the Riveter Association (ARRA)
Our purpose is to recognize and preserve the history and legacy of working women, including volunteer women, during World War II.
One objective of the Connecticut chapter is to assist in preserving the history of WWII women on the home front. We encourage Connecticut families to record the home front stories about their "Rosies" for the ARRA archives. This history is important to preserve for future generations before these home front details are lost or forgotten.
What is a "Rosie"?
A "Rosie" is a woman who worked or volunteered during WWII on the home front for the war effort.
Examples of workers include riveters, welders, factory workers, assembly line workers, defense workers, drivers, farmers, lumberjacks, parachute folders and more!
Examples of volunteers include aircraft spotters, neighborhood patrols, growing Victory gardens, Red Cross volunteers, knitters, scrap-drive collectors, selling Victory stamps and war bonds and much more!
If you or your mother, aunt, or grandmother worked or volunteered during WWII, we can assist in interviewing and writing a short biography for the ARRA archives to preserve your story!
