Doylestown Senior Center to Host Screening Celebrating Local Rosie the Riveter, Mae Krier
A screening of Levittown resident Mae Krier, also known as the Rosie the Riveter of Bucks County, will take place at a Doylestown senior center, according to TAPinto Doylestown.
Krier was one of the many women during WWII who worked jobs traditionally held by men. She built airplanes and weapons at a Boeing factory in Seattle.
In the 1980s, Krier played a pivotal role in advocating for the Congressional Gold Medal to be awarded to women like herself.
This advocacy culminated in 2020, when then-President Trump enacted legislation recognizing Krier and her fellow Rosies with this honor.
The screening of “There was a Country to Save” will be at Doylestown Senior Center on March 16 from 2 to 4:30 PM, tickets will cost $20 in advance.
