So Connie Field got the idea to do a black-and-white documentary film about American woman who went to work during UsufulNotes/WorldWarII to do the men’s job form a California “Rosie the Riveter Reunion.” Thus, with grants from the ''National Endowment for the Humanities'' and other charitable sources, Connie Field conducted interviews with hundreds of women who gone into the American home front and came up with movie '''''The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter''''', released September 27, 1980 at the New York Film Festival.

The documentary takes a look at the spark that ignited the women’s liberation movement nearly thirty years before 'officially' planted its roots. With thousands of men leaving the factories to fight in the war, and with the urgent, escalating need for America to arm itself, self-sufficient women from all over the country were strongly encouraged to join the factory workforce, many of them enduring double-shifts on a fairly regular basis and eventually discovering new freedoms by earning their own incomes and making their own choices, discovering skills as both laborers and as independent women they never knew.
