Rosie Riveter and the World War II Homefront Experience
For this project, ROHO staff interviewed Bay Area residents about their World War II experiences here at home. Many of the clips featured women from a range of economic and ethnic backgrounds discussing their attitudes toward education, the effect of the war on race relations, and changing ideas about sexuality, religion and community.
