We are so excited for International Women’s Day and there are a ton of cool and educational events around the city that you’ve got to check out. One that recently caught our eye is the Women Can Build photography exhibit in lower Manhattan.
Hosted by the Jobs to Move America and the NYC DOT, the exhibit will feature and highlight women in the manufacturing industry. This will include a look into the overlooked contributions of women, and decline in hiring since WWII, of the skilled and hard-working women who build our 21st Century transportation including trams, rail, buses, roads, bridges and streets.
Running from March 8th – May 15th, the exhibit will feature 16 “modern Rosies,” taken by Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Deanne Fitzmaurice, in addition to historic photographs of WWII-era “Rosie the Riveter” manufacturing workers, from the Library of Congress.
