Who is Louise Cooper? She is a "Rosie the Riveter" from 1943 and lives in Forsyth County. She is amazed at the super-secret government technology called Z.O.O.M. and has decided to catch all of us up on what is going on at the Homefront - the experience of building liberty ships with her gals in Brunswick naval shipyards, the latest rationing rules, women's changing roles in society, and how women are doing their part to help the Allies win the war. You may even recognize a few local names!
Rosie the Riveter: A Living History Presentation is an immersive and engaging experience featuring performer Tracy Lee White. Dressed the part, she will act as if the year is 1943, as a citizen of the times, and use authentic items such as currency, ration books, government publications, news reels, music, and clothing.Can this program be any more unique? Yes, it can! Registered attendees will pick up a "TOP SECRET time travel packet" prior to the program to help immerse them in 1943. The packet features an introduction to the program, a ration exercise, a recipe for Victory Cakes, a Rosie the Riveter "You Did It" button, and more! After the program, there will be a drawing for authentic 1943 steel pennies for anyone in attendance!
We hope you can join us on March 23rd at 7:00 p.m. as part of Forsyth County Public Library's Women's History Month series!
