History Café: "Rosie the Riveter" Yesterday and Today: WA Women in the Trades

Details

Hear the personal stories of women who have led the way in breaking barriers for female workers in Washington. Women across three generations, including Georgie Kunkel, who worked at the Boeing bomber plant in Chehalis during WWII, will share their experiences and perspectives. Lynne Dodson, Secretary Treasurer of the Washington State Labor Council, will moderate the program, which will also include a presentation of a photographic portrait series of local tradeswomen by Bettina Hansen, Seattle Times staff photographer.
