Anna Mae Krier, a former teenage riveter and now 98 years old, continues to highlight the crucial contributions of women in World War II, particularly in making weaponry that supported the men at the frontline.
Women, symbolized by Rosie the Riveter, stepped up in defense-industry factories during World War II, taking on essential roles previously held by men who had joined the combat.
Women like Anna Mae Krier, who worked as riveters on bombers, played a significant part in building equipment vital for the Allied invasion of Normandy, ultimately contributing to the liberation of Europe from Hitler's rule.
