The year was 1942, America was getting into WWII. There was a huge need for woman to join the work force. Women were needed to build the military vehicles and weapons for the war.

Robin’s dad was a metal worker so it made sense for her to go to work at The Charlestown Navy Yard. With only 2 weeks of training Robin became a Riveter.

When the war was over Robin liked working on the DUKWs so much she decided to stick around, and give tours around Boston.

She can often be seen cruising the streets of Boston chanting “We Can Do It.”
