Since this is a feminist blog, I thought it would only be fitting to devote my first post to the iconic image that represents the feminist movement, Rosie the Riveter. This woman represented the American women that worked in factories producing war materials during the 1940's while their husbands were away fighting in World War II. This was the first time women were truly recognized for their efforts in the American workforce. The slogan that goes along with this iconic image of Rosie the Riveter, "We Can Do It!" is a reminder to woman both today and in past decades we as women are capable of completing any task, just as men are, and should not be deterred from any opportunity due to our gender and the supposition that we are weak and incapable of completing physically demanding tasks.
