Women at War: The Rosies of WWII is a one-hour High-Definition television documentary on American women working in the war effort during World War II. To show the extraordinary scope of work and lifestyle options now in place for women in America today, emphasis will be put on the abrupt transition from housewife to military officers, weather service technicians, assembly-line riveters, rail road operations, code-breakers, and entertainers. After the war, while many women returned to “civilian” life, they never forgot their war experiences and it helped them encourage future generations of women to maintain those hard-won freedoms.

This documentary is a chronology of transition of the social context of women since the Second World War, to today’s social, economic, and family framework. We explore the Rosies of WWII and their experiences taking on traditional men’s roles in the workforce. Through their compelling stories we examine how their service aided the war effort, which in turn, opened up opportunities for women that were never before had, we explore the tremendous spirit and tireless efforts of these “Rosie's” and examine how the “Greatest Generation” rose to the occasion and how their lives were transformed and how their patriotism and volunteerism has continued into the present.
