Rosie the Riveter

Taken from www.npr.org/blogs

Ever since her debut during World War II, "Rosie the Riveter" is now a cultural icon of the United States and is often used to represent feminism. As the passionate feminist I am, naturally, I adore the "Rosie the Riveter" concept, and I refer to it as a concept because there wasn't actually a single "Rosie" that became the famous icon. What we know today as "Rosie the Riveter" is actually a mix of a few different Rosies and that famous poster (that's right! this one...) that together formed the concept of an empowered female factory worker.
