These two Rosie the Riveters worked in the same factory but never meet as the workforces were segregated. They have two have become friends and talk nearly every day. The youngest of six siblings, Clara Hunter Doutly grew up in Detroit. She put on pants for the first time at 19, when she accepted a job at Briggs Manufacturing, riveting components for B-24 and B-29 bombers. She remembers World War II as a time of unity when neighbors from all backgrounds came together to listen to the radio or memorialize young soldiers killed in battle overseas. “Somebody had a potato. Somebody had an onion. You threw it all together and made soup,” she says. “You see what can be done". Born in a Kentucky farmhouse, Mallie Osborne Mellon, along with her husband and their young son, boarded a bus to Detroit in 1943, responding to a radio ad for civilian war jobs. By then more than 300,000 American women were involved in aircraft production, many by shooting rivets into warplanes in Motor City’s factories. Mellon worked at Briggs Manufacturing, burnishing parts for bombers rolling off the assembly line at Henry Ford’s mammoth Willow Run plant nearby. Mellon, now a hundred, hadn’t heard of Rosie the Riveter—the term used to describe women who worked in defense plants—until five years ago, when she learned that she was one. Now she attends monthly American Rosie the Riveter Association gatherings. She still has her southern drawl, but Michigan is home, and the Rosies are family. Words by @KatieSSanders
