WHO'S YOUR ROSIE THE RIVETER?
W4W remembers one of America's very first, real-life Rosie the Riveters
| |
Winning 4 Women is three weeks into our "Modern-Day Rosie" initiative, where we're recognizing the unique contributions made by women during these unprecedented times. We were saddened to hear that one of America's very first life Rosie's passed away from COVID-19 complications.
At age 20, Josephine Rachiele made history by joining 60 million other "Rosies" building war planes for U.S. servicemen overseas.
Woman like "Josie the Riveter" changed the country's perspective on women, their abilities, and their contributions. Josephine was a true trailblazer and lead the way for women to for years to come. We thank the women before us for breaking glass ceilings and propelling the movement of strong working woman.

First elected to the U.S. House in 2016, Liz is the highest ranking Republican woman in Congressional history. She works strenuously for job creation, cutting taxes, expanding energy options, mining and agriculture, and strengthening America’s standing in the world. Prior to her time in Congress, Liz practiced law and served in the State Department as the second-ranking official responsible for U.S. Policy in the Middle East.

As the first female U.S. fighter pilot to fly in combat and the first woman to command a fighter squadron, Martha is a true trailblazer. Appointed to her Senate seat in 2018 after the death of Senator John McCain, Martha has spent her time focused on issues like border security and military preparedness. Martha previously served two terms in the U.S. House, where she sponsored 54 bills and passed two of them into law.
