Rosie the Riveter  

Définition

  • “Rosie the Riveter” is the media icon associated with female defense workers during World War II. Beginning in 1942, as an increasing number of American males were recruited for the war effort, women were needed to fill their positions in factories. Initially, women workers were recruited from among the working class, but as the war production needs increased, it became necessary to recruit workers from among middle-class women.
