“Rosie the Riveter” is not the same as “We Can Do It!”
Perhaps the best-known example of women working in trades during World War II [on right] is commonly - though incorrectly - called “Rosie the Riveter,” memorialized in numerous posters, magazine covers, t-shirts, coffee mugs and advertisements.
The actual image of “Rosie the Riveter” appeared on a Norman Rockwell cover of a 1943 Saturday Evening Post. The “We Can Do It!” image, also featuring a strong working woman, was a poster by J. Howard Miller for Westinghouse.
