The 1940s is most widely remembered for World War II and its ramifications as one of the greatest human conflicts in history. America was at war and a national campaign was on to boost morale both for the troops overseas and for the families pulling up the slack at home. Rosie the Riveter became a fictional icon of United States culture, representing the six million women who entered the workplace for the first time to replace the jobs of men now serving in a branch of the military. Rosie let women know “We Can Do It!” and the popular image of her flexing a bicep in a denim shirt and red polka dot scarf is an indelible image of the era.
