I think Fanny Christina Hill’s experiences were extraordinary opportunities as a black woman. She was able to make more money than she had before the War. Though she talks about how the jobs were different than white females working in the same company, she expressed that it was movement forward and how her hard work earned her a place back in the company after she had her child. I thought of Hill, after having discussed unemployment being not present during that time, explains a reason why she had a lot of opportunities. -Mhimes | I think Fanny Christina Hill’s experiences were extraordinary opportunities as a black woman.

| + | I liked the story about Fanny Christina Hill's experiences. I think she really brought Rosie the Riveter to life. I'm glad that during the war even African American women were able to obtain jobs. They didn't, however, always get the best jobs available as opposed to their white, female counterparts. She said the job she got was in Department 17 where all they did was shooting and bucking rivets even if they had their good education. This is also a happy story though because she was able to return to the job she loved at the end. -Amy Van Ness | ||
