Rosie the LGBT Riveter – Special from Newsweek

Last week an article in Newsweek reported on the effort to collect WWII homefront stories from the LGBT community — especially women within the community. My book Wax and I were mentioned and I’m honored. Here’s a PDF of the article for your reading pleasure!

About Author

Therese Ambrosi Smith became fascinated by a remarkable collection of WWII oral histories at the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historic Park, and her debut novel, Wax, was born. Her short fiction has incorporated personal tales of work and travel: climbing mountains, surveying logging roads, designing parks and playgrounds, tending bar and selling fish. She completed the UCLA Writers' Program in June 2009, and is currently embarking on a "tin can camper book tour."
