Grace Brown, a real-life 'Rose the Riveter,' joined the WWII effort on the homefront by making parts and engines. Now, former machinists like her are being honored at a North Texas exhibit.
PUBLISHED 4:22 PM CDT Jun. 30, 2022GARLAND, Texas — A North Texas city is taking the summer to spread a story of inspiration, the story of the women who stepped up as machinists during World War II, and they’re getting some help from one woman that was there.
Grace Brown, a young woman at the time from Austin, was one of those women who stepped up to the call. Brown said she moved to Waco to go to school and become a machinist before relocating to Fort Worth to work at Consolidated Aircraft.Brown stopped by the exhibit in Garland, which she said brought back a lot of memories from those days. She recalled living in dormitories with her fellow workers as they built the parts that would go overseas to assist America’s troops.
Nurmi added that in a time when the country is divided on a lot of fronts, the story of the "Rosies" is one that we could all probably learn from.
