WITH HAMMER IN HAND, The Story of Women in Construction
...Join us in a celebration of working women...
in a 60 minute television documentary
October 4, 2009, 2 PM in Berkeley
RSVP: ruthmag@earthlink.net
510-548-9904
Meet extraordinary women who work as ironworkers, carpenters, piledrivers, among other trades-and greet their friends and supporters. PBS documentary producer, Maria Brooks, will show a trailer of her current project, "With Hammer in Hand, the Story of Women in Construction" and answer questions.
Forty years after equal employment legislation, only 2% of jobs in construction are held by women. Why have so few women entered these well paying trades? Talk to women who do the work and view a documentary, 'work in progress'. We are raising funds for Maria's important film.
Contribute what you can and bring your friends. Share an afternoon of good conversation and refreshments-and meet some bold and spirited women.
