Real-life Rosie the Riveters worked the lines in New Jersey�s factories; such as those of General Motors� Eastern Aircraft Division; while women on the vulnerable coast enforced blackout orders. Others sold war bonds; planted victory gardens and conserved materials for the war effort. Thousands more served as nurses and in branches of the armed forces like the Women�s Army Corps and the U.S. Navy�s Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service. African American women fought a double war�one against the nation�s enemies and another against discrimination. Historian Patricia Chappine explores the pivotal roles that New Jersey women played in World War II.
