a) Rosie the Riveter

Rosie the Riveter became an iconic symbol of female empowerment during World War II, representing the women who worked in factories and shipyards while men served on the front lines. Rosie was popularized by a hit song and a famous poster featuring a woman flexing her muscle under the slogan “We Can Do It!” This campaign encouraged women to take up jobs traditionally held by men, significantly changing the workforce dynamics in the U.S. and laying the groundwork for future gender equality movements.
