铆工罗西的重要性
Rosie the Riveter was the star of a campaign aimed at recruiting female workers for defense industries during World War II, and she became perhaps the most iconic image of working women. 在电影中, 报纸, 宣传海报, 照片和文章, the Rosie the Riveter campaign stressed the patriotic need for women to enter the workforce. 从1940年到1945年，美国人口中女性所占的比例.S. 劳动力从27%增加到近37%, and by 1945 nearly one out of every four married women worked outside the home.
The call for women to join the workforce during World War II was meant to be temporary and women were expected to leave their jobs after the war ended and men came home. The women who did stay in the workforce continued to be paid less than their male peers and were usually demoted. 但经过他们在二战期间的无私努力, 男人再也不能声称比女人优越了. Women had enjoyed and even thrived on a taste of financial and personal freedom—and many wanted more. The impact of World War II on women changed the workplace forever, 女性的角色在战后继续扩大.

The keynote speaker today is a strong advocate for women in non-traditional occupations. April Wilkerson is a born and bred Texas girl who grew up on the south Texas coast, but now resides in the Texas hill Country with a little herd of rescue animals and chickens.
April是一个制造者，一个diy者，一个木工和金属工人. 但不管标签是什么, April makes things she needs and wants… instead of buying it or hiring it out. April’s goal is to be able to look around her home and have a hard time finding something she did not make with her own two hands.
April started a blog in February of 2013 and never used a power tool before. She did not grow up working on things nor did she take a shop class in school. April decided to try at making things she could not afford. It was then when she dove head first into building things with her hands. Years later, April prefers to build the things she wants and needs.
就在四月开始做东西之后不久, she started putting together written tutorials on her website so that she could pass along information to anybody else that was interested. One thing led to another and a year later, she started making video tutorials as well! April put together free tutorials on anything and everything she did.
April also loves the business side of her company, and is passionate about growing it. 她现在有几名员工，并计划扩大规模. April just purchased a new commercial building that will house the manufacturing, distribution and woodworking/metalworking courses side of her business.
April hopes you too are able to find a project that inspires you to pick up a tool… one you didn’t think you could use, 做一些你认为自己做不到的事情. 当然可以!
