Event: “A Stitch in Time” — Women in the Garment Industry, Lecture
When: March 31, 2014 — 4:00pm
Where: Kramer Hall — Stockton’s Instructional Site (30 Front Street, Hammonton)
What: Patt Martinelli, author and Curator of the Vineland Historical Society and Antiquarian, will be presenting “A Stitch in Time” — a brief history of Italian-American women who worked in regional clothing factories during World War II. According to Martinelli, “The chance to work outside the home proved a pivotal experience for many of these many, who had never before earned a paycheck of their own.” This topic aligns perfectly with the history of Kramer Hall, which once served as the home of the National Garment Factory, owned and operated by former Hammonton resident, Anne Bertino.
