Rosie The Riveter

During WWI and WWII the role of women were pretty much the same. Their roles included working in factories, nurses, and anything that need to get done while the men were off at war. Although, during WWI and WWII these roles seemed to be portrayed differently. First, during WWI women were a huge role but when the men came back the women were not as recognized and did not get as many rights as they should have. In WWII, when women went to work it was portrayed as patriotic. Rosie the Riveter is a prime example of this because she was part of a huge propaganda series trying to get more and more women to work. So, the U.S had to create a character which would change the view on women working. Rosie the Riveter showed women that they were being patriotic when they worked in the factories and that the had a huge part in the war (which they did). Lastly, Rosie the Riveter made such a big impacted because women felt that Rosie represented more rights for women.
