PD 10 - Rosie the Riveter (1942)
Author J. Howard Miller - scan of copy belonging to the National Museum of American History
Rosie represented the six million women who worked
in the manufacturing plants on the home front which produced
munitions and material during World War II while the men
(who traditionally performed this work) were fighting in the Pacific
and European Theaters. This "character" is now considered
a feminist icon in the U.S., and a herald of women's economic power to come.
