3,755 girls and women dressed as Rosie the Riveter gathered at the Eastern Michigan University's Convocation Center in Ypsilanti on Saturday, October 14, breaking the world record.
Dressed in blue shirts and red bandanas, the youngest was six months old, and the oldest 110.
Rosie the Riveter was a patriotic symbol pictured in a poster of a woman wearing a bandanna and flexing her muscles under the slogan, "We can do it!" The character was inspired by Michigan native Rose Will Monroe, one
of thousands of women who worked at the Willow Run plant producing B-24
bombers during World War II.
And women are still refusing to stay in lower rungs of our country's hierarchies, and are creating change, here and across the world.
