What does the political cartoon by Rosie the Riveter mean?
Rosie was developed to encourage women to enter the workforce during World War II. Many women were better able to enter the workforce in what were then considered nontraditional roles such as munitions and aircraft factories, taking the place of men who were off fighting in the war. She has become quite the cultural icon for womens’ empowerment and is an enduring testament to the image and strength of women in the workforce.
