The Museum of History & Holocaust Education's newest traveling exhibit is 'Beyond Rosie: Women in World War II'. Jane Tucker, a real life "Rosie", talks about her experiences and how important it is to remember what women went through during World War II. World

War II, more so than any conflict before it, included and relied upon the contributions of women. Though the war was a global conflict with much of the combat taking place in European and South Pacific theaters, its effects rocked American society and challenged established gender roles in American life. Women, many of whom had served in traditional domestic roles before the war, had new opportunities to challenge stereotypes that cast them as unfit for wartime service or certain types of industrial work. Beyond Rosie: Women in World War II, the MHHE’s newest ten-panel traveling exhibit, tells the stories of women’s involvement in the war—on the home front, in military auxiliary services, in volunteer organizations, in the work force, and as targets and recipients of energetic propaganda campaigns—that go beyond the iconic image of “Rosie” to explore the diversity of women’s roles.
