Detailed explanation-1: -For years, the inspiration for the woman in the Westinghouse poster was believed to be Geraldine Hoff Doyle of Michigan, who worked in a Navy machine shop during World War II. Other sources claim that Rosie was actually Rose Will Monroe, who worked as a riveter at the Willow Run Bomber Plant near Detroit.
Detailed explanation-2: -The character of “Rosie the Riveter” first began as a song inspired by war worker Rosalind P. Walter. After high school, 19 year old Rosalind began working as a riveter on Corsair fighter planes at the Vought Aircraft Company in Stratford, Connecticut.
Detailed explanation-3: -"Rosie the Riveter” was an iconic poster of a female factory worker flexing her muscle, exhorting other women to join the World War II effort with the declaration that “We Can Do It!” The “We Can Do It!” poster was aimed at boosting morale among workers in the World War II factories producing war materiel.
Detailed explanation-4: -Their labor extended patriotism as a direct contribution to the war effort. Women were doing their share and felt proud of it. One of the long-term changes Rosie the Riveter’s image and campaign brought to the women’s movement is the fact that women became a powerful force in the public space.
