She's a WOW

A bit of a hiatus!

I’ve been hard at work on a trilogy set in the 20th century during WW2. It’s about the war at home in the “arsenal of democracy”—Detroit, in one its finest moments.

With men in the army, Detroit’s defense plants needed women workers. WOW stood for “Women Ordnance Worker”, and the design on her bandanna is the emblem of the Army Ordnance Corps—a bomb with flames shooting from it.

She’s not as well known as Rosie the Riveter, but I like her better.
