Amanda Goodheart Parks, a historian and lecturer, specializes in women’s history. In her “Beyond the Bicep: The Real Story of Rosie the Riveter,” she’ll speak about the cultural icon of World War II. (“We Can Do It,” was an American wartime poster used as a call to inspire women workers to join the war effort.)
