WHO IS ROSIE THE RIVETER?

Rosie the Riveter is a cultural icon from the 1940’s, who represented all the women working in the industrial field while the men fought in World War  II. This began a huge shift for the acceptance of women in the workforce and the realization for many that women can work in male dominated fields. Women proved they can work in factories, weld, build airplanes, and so much more away from being a housewife or work a clerical job. Today, the image of Rosie the Riveter symbolizes feminism and women’s empowerment.
