19, Wednesday Older Adult Institute Summer Lecture Series - Rosie the Riveter . Allan Carter, professor of English at College of DuPage, will show the World War II classic movie, Rosie, the Riveter. Rosie exemplifies the women who stepped into jobs traditionally held by men and produced the planes, tanks, trucks and other material that made it possible for the Allied troops to win the war. As a result, women gained personal confidence, joined the women's movement, and implemented a societal innovation that has made a permanent change in United States culture. Professor Carter will lead a discussion of the film and its lasting impact.
Space is limited so come early.
