LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- A new project affiliated with New York University is looking for real-life "Rosie the Riveters" in Michigan.
Filmmakers Anne de Mare and Kirsten Kelly are recording the oral histories of women who went to work in America's defense plants and munitions factories during World War II.
The filmmakers will be in Michigan at the end of next month to interview "Michigan Rosies."
They hope to have completed a documentary by the spring of 2011 and are working with the Tamiment Labor Archives at NYU, which contains archival, print, photograph, film and oral history collections documenting the history of the labor movement.
