Bartow History Museum welcomes Dr. Julia Brock, Director of Interpretation, at the Museum of History & Holocaust Education at Kennesaw State University, as speaker at the upcoming Lunch & Learn program on Wednesday, March 18, 2015, at noon.  Brock will discuss the role of women in World War II. 
 
Now through March 28, the Bartow History Museum is hosting the Museum of History and Holocaust Education’s traveling exhibit “Beyond Rosie: Women in World War II.”  The exhibit pays homage to the service and experiences of women during wartime.  Rosie the Riveter continues to be a symbol of the watershed moment that the war provided for women.  Dr. Brock, who served as co-curator of the exhibit, will speak about women’s role in the war, as well as the creation of the exhibit. 

Guests at the program will also have the opportunity to meet and hear from “Rosie” Jane Tucker, a member of the Rome chapter of the American Rosie the Riveter Association.  Tucker will talk about her own experiences living and working during the 1940s. 

Lunch & Learn will take place on March 18, 2015, at noon, and guests are invited to bring a lunch.  Bartow History Museum is located at 4 E.
