Rosie the Riveter

Rosie the Riveter emerged as a powerful symbol of women's contributions during WWII, with iconic images like the "We Can Do It" poster gaining recognition decades later. While female workforce participation peaked at 37% during the war, many women, including Eleanor, continued to work in industrial roles long after. The legacy of Rosie is celebrated today at the Rosie the Riveter National Historic Park, highlighting the vital role women played in the war effort and the manufacturing boom.
