Pictures Paint Words: Painter, paramedic and EMS Squad 38 volunteer Kate Bergen of Manahawkin has published a book of 50 portraits titled Modern Day Rosies: The Women Behind the Masks. The project blends the iconic ideas of Rosie the Riveter (“We Can Do It!”) and Uncle Sam (“We Want You”) to honor female essential workers during the COVID pandemic. The book “not only showcases some amazing women, ‘she-roes,’ really, but also highlights the fact that so many of us were left wanting when it came to addressing our mental health,” Bergen said.
