One City One Book: Women on the Home Front

Explore the history and legacy of women who answered the call during World War II in a screening of the National Park Service film Hometown Heroes. NPS Deputy Superintendent Sue Fritzke will also talk about wartime changes that occurred in boom towns across America, including Richmond, CA, the site of Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park. If you, your mother, or grandmother was a Rosie, bring your story to share!

Free and open to the public, this program is the first in a series celebrating Walnut Creek’s 2017 One City One Book, “Hidden Figures” by Margot Lee Shetterly. RSVPs are encouraged and can be made online at www.wclibrary.org/one-city-one-book or by phone at 925.935.5395.
