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.
The Connecticut Corsair chapter preserves the stories of women who worked or volunteered on the home front during WWII. We encourage Connecticut families to record the home front stories about their "Rosies" for the ARRA archives. These "Rosie" stories are of historic value and 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, clerical jobs in war production, parachute folders, uniform sewers and more!
Examples of volunteers include aircraft spotters, neighborhood wardens, Victory gardeners, Red Cross volunteers, bandage rollers, knitters, scrap-drive collectors, Victory stamp and war bond sellers 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!
