CarmenElectrode.com to Feature Modern Day Rosie the Riveters

PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 25, 2008 – CarmenElectrode.com™ one of the first welding industry blogs, has added a new regular feature to the site, “The New Rosie: Women in Welding,” profiling women welders.

Blog editor Jennifer Simpson says, “There’s been a lot of talk about the welder shortage and a lot of talk about why women don’t become welders.” With the full support of website owner Arc-Zone.com®, Inc. Simpson wants to do her part to let people know that welding is not necessarily too dirty or too physically demanding for women. “I am profiling women welders so that people have a better understanding of what kind of work welding is, and what kind of women weld.”

Simpson posted her first interview with Debra Montgomery who runs a fabrication shop in Central California with her husband. Montgomery is a hands-on metal fabricator specializing in copper, and repousse work.

Although several interviews are in the hopper, Simpson has put out a call for even more women welders. “I’m eager to showcase all kinds of women doing all kinds of metal fabrication. I’m looking for welding engineers in high-production automated environments, small fabrication shop workers, metal artists and hobbyists.”
