Rosie the Riveter

After becoming involved in WW2, America began to realize that they really needed women to step up into the positions that men left vacant behind them.  Woman had to work heavy machinery in order to make what was necessary for war.  America didn't need women to help out fighting the war, the needed help in preparation for the war.  Rosie the Riveter became a symbol of women who are working to support the men who are fighting in the war.  The reason Rosie was such a good symbol is because she seemed the the stereotypical working woman.  She made other women aspire to be her, this is why Rosie was such effective propaganda.
