Duel of the Decade: Lady Welders Championship with Jim Davis

Join us for a fascinating part of local history. WWII gave opportunity for women to enter the work force where they had not been recruited or even allowed, previously. So many women gained skill as welders in the shipyards, there was a duel of the best, fastest lady welder (known as Wendy or Winnie Welders). Hear about the characters and find out who won! Jim Davis, who lectures at the Rosie Riveter Museum will highlight this anecdote from history and the wider story behind it. For questions, call (510) 620-6567.
