Interesting question! Is this for a class project or a publication of some sort?

Re: I am looking for former female workers of the Boston Naval Yard.
It is for work, I am a Ranger at Boston NHP and planning on hosting a Rosie event this summer! We've had a little bit of luck finding women through the genealogical records but so many got married right after the war ended and moved that it is hard to track them.

2 people found this helpfulYou might try this series: Photographic File of the Maritime Administration from Record Group 357, Records of the Maritime Administration. It probably won't give you names, but at least you'll have some nice photographs to go with your event!
These records are held at the National Archives in College Park in the Still Pictures Division. They are contactable at stillpix@nara.gov.
Best of luck! This sounds like a pretty neat event!
