2009. Washington Women in Trades 2nd calendar.
To commemorate our 30th year, Washington Women in Trades celebrated the past, present, and future tradeswoman.
The format of this calendar was a bit different than all the rest:
First, there were the Rosies, the women who started it all and made the world realize that women can not only do, but excel at trades work.
Second, our present-day tradeswomen represented an incredible spirit, pride, and drive. Many of them began working in the 70’s when there were few women in the workforce. Strong, independent and confident, they are artists, grandmothers, motorcyclists, gardeners, athletes and moms.
Finally, the apprentices and future tradeswomen were enthusiastic and inspiring, brand new to the trades, but with big plans for their futures.
