Rosie the Riveter

Rosie was an amazing symbol for me. She represented everything that a woman can do if she sets her mind to. do I sound like a Feminist "Shhhh don't tell anyone but, yes I must be deep down inside. Except I believe if I want to make cookies for my kids it doesn't make we weak or weaken the movement. My kids like cookies and i make them it can be that simple. That is why I found this picture of Rosie and I had to put it her. She's the best in all of us. Doing what needs to be done. Below is an excerpt I took from Wikepedia, I thought you'd like to learn more about her.
Rosie the Riveter was most closely associated with a real woman, Rose Will Monroe, who was born in Pulaski County, Kentucky[3][4][5] in 1920 and moved to Michigan during World War II. She worked as a riveter at the Willow Run Aircraft Factory in Ypsilanti, Michigan, building B-29 and B-24 bombers for the U.S. Army Air Forces. Monroe was asked to star in a promotional film about the war effort at home, and was featured in a poster campaign. The song "Rosie the Riveter" by Kay Kyser was released in early 1943,[2] and Monroe happened to best fit the description of the worker depicted in the song.[6] Rosie went on to become perhaps the most widely recognized icon of that era. The films and posters she appeared in were used to encourage women to go to work in support of the war effort.
According to the Encyclopedia of American Economic History, the "Rosie the Riveter" movement increased the number of working American women to 20 million by 1944, a 57% increase from 1940.[6] Although the image of "Rosie the Riveter" reflected the industrial work of welders and riveters during World War II, the majority of working women filled non-factory positions in every sector of the economy. In 1942, just between the months of January and July, the estimates of the proportion of jobs that would be "acceptable" for women was raised by employers from 29 to 85%.
The image most iconically associated with Rosie is J. Howard Miller's famous poster for Westinghouse, entitled We Can Do It!, which was modeled on Michigan factory worker Geraldine Doyle in 1942. While the poster appeared before the Rosie term became popular, the poster itself became emblematic of Rosie.[2] Starting in the 1970s the poster became an icon for feminists and has been reprinted on posters, magazine covers, and many other items."[13] Norman Rockwell used the Rosie name for his cover for the May 29, 1943 Saturday Evening Post, which depicted a different model (Mary Doyle Keefe).[14][15] It is not clear whether Rockwell had seen the Miller poster, but he admitted that "I made a mistake in the detail that people will be calling me down for. The cover shows Rosie with goggles on and a risinglass protective shield." Keefe was paid $5 a day for two mornings' sittings. On May 22, 2002, Rockwell's painting of Rosie the Riveter was auctioned by Sotheby's for $4,959,500.
