Synopsis

This is the story of a teenage girl from Kentucky who married and moved to Michigan. During WWII, Beulah Evans McAlister worked at the Hudson Motor Car Company in Detroit, Michigan after her husband joined the army. Car manufacturers had to ramp up a very different production line to meet the new wartime needs. Beulah worked on the Hellcat aircraft, an open cockpit biplane used mostly in the Pacific Theater. Years later, these women who worked in manufacturing were given the name, “Rosie the Riveter,” and they became an American icon. Their famous poster shows a woman making a muscle, with the words “WE CAN DO IT!” Beulah did it, and Kaylynn Johnson did it, too. Kaylynn met Beulah and told her story to young readers.
