About Rosie the Riveter
Rosie the Riveter is an iconic women’s image for all women in the work force. During World War II, men were called to fight and women stepped up to support their families by working in the areas they did not typically get called to work in. During the war years, the percent of women in the workforce jumped from 27 percent to 37 percent. This was a huge movement during that time and still would be today. Rosie the Riveter became the government’s image for recruiting women into the work force and was an excellent form of imagery showing just how important women are in every aspect in and out of the home.
The movement for recruiting women changed the view on women working outside of the home. The image before World War II was that women were only meant for housework and raising children, but now they were viewed as being as strong and independent as men.
