How Did They Do It?
About this episode
The episode explores the resilience and ingenuity of Brooklyn mothers who grew up during the Great Depression and world wars.
Brooklyn mothers like mine always found a way to make it all happen for their families. These women that grew up in the Great Depression and came of age during a world war were filled with resilience and ingenuity. The iconic “We can do it!” attitude of Rosie the Riveter endured in our mothers long after the war was over.
