Who is Rosie the Riveter?

(en.wikipedia.org )

      As many of us have seen this image in history textbooks or even at feminist protests many don't understand the importance or the reason of this image. So yes this will be a bit of a history lesson here but I will get to the modern focal point of it soon.
      As you know, during World War II many men left to fight in war which left the women to take the "man's job" such as factory work with machinery, welding, riveting and engine repair. This sudden growth on women's work created a movement and soon posters were created to represent women's work and to empower more women that they could do it just as well as the men. Now we will never know if Rosie the Riveter was an actual person but she was a figure to empower women.
      Ok now that the history lesson is over, this picture was brought back during the 80s during feminist protests. Personally, I find this picture really important for young women today especially since there is so much oppression on women around the world. I think young women should become aware of how limited women are in the world even though feminists are growing there still is not quite enough to have this generation to become fully aware and to make  huge changes one equality between men and women. Rosie the Riveter may have not have been a real person but she should still be an idol for women across America.
