Bailey Sisoy Isgro is the owner of Detroit History Tours and the proprietress of the Detroit History Club. She works as an automotive sculptor by day and by night she writes and lectures on the history of her fine city.

Nicole Lapointe is a local Detroit freelance artist and resident geek. When she?s not working on art she can be found volunteering around town, dressing up in costumes, biking, roller skating, and digging around for weird Detroit tales.
"The story behind the iconic image of Rosie the Riveter unfolds in rhyming verse and colorful illustrations that convey the strength, bravery, diversity, and patriotism of the hardworking women on the home front during World War II. The automotive factories of Detroit were rededicated to the production of bombers, tanks, battleships, and bullets; a unique slice of Americana emerges, complete with a detailed historical timeline, glossary, and photographs of talented "Rosies" riveting, welding, drilling, and making history."?Pallas Gates McCorquodale, Foreword Reviews

It's a scary and sad word.
