qwazse 4345 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Mamma rolled steel. Women on the shop floors was bigger than we realize. The Socialist Workers Party agitated at the time, and she rebuffed them soundly. I’m pretty sure she wasn’t the only American woman who did.

There's nothing like proof of concept to pull you out of a spiral of self-doubt someone is trying to suck you into. Well, except your own experience. It's really hard to take someone who's saying you can't do what you've already done seriously. But for girls, who haven't had time to do all that much yet because of age, proof of concept is very helpful when it comes to deciding whom to listen to. How wonderful that the scouts got to meet a live "Rosie"! Can't be many left. Link to post Share on other sites
skeptic 997 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Am I the only one that sees a connection to the controversy still hanging about in relation to females, especially girls, in the BSA? Great history. And I grew up with grand mothers and a mother that all worked, being a latch key kid in the fifties. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
