Women have been shaping manufacturing for generations—leading, innovating, and driving progress. This Women’s History Month, we celebrate trailblazers like Rosie the Riveter, who symbolizes millions of women who transformed manufacturing during WWII; Madam C. J. Walker, who built a beauty product empire and became the first self-made female millionaire in the U.S.; and Mary Barra, the first woman to lead a major global automaker as CEO of General Motors. Today, women continue to make a powerful impact at every level--from the factory floor to the boardroom. Know a woman making an impact in manufacturing? Tag her in the comments so we can say “thank you” and celebrate her contributions! #AMICSTL #WomensHistoryMonth #STEM #Manufacturing #Innovation #Progress
