Rosie the Riveter
Rosie the Riveter is a cultural icon of the United States, representing the 6 million women who manned the manufacturing plants which produced munitions and material during World War II while the men (who traditionally performed this work) were off fighting the war. This "character" is now considered a feminist icon in the U.S., and a herald of women's economic power to come.
