“Phyllis Gould waited 12 years for the moment when she, one of the six original ‘Rosie the Riveters,’ made it to the White House. Gould, 92, and her five fellow ‘Rosie the Riveters,’ who worked in a shipyard during World War II, were invited by Vice President Joe Biden after a decades-long letter campaign by Gould that began when Bill Clinton was in office. . . . With their motto, ‘We can do it,’ and their famous red bandanas, Gould and the 20 million other American women who went to work during World War II turned gender stereotypes on their heads.” More here about their White House visit this week.
