WW-2 Education
This very talented high school student created this art from the WW II poster of "Rosie the Riveter" It was so good, I purchased it to add to my display of WW II artifacts and exhibit. The young lady works with all kinds of art materials and sings as well as plays musical instruments.
In actuality, this is not really "Rosie the Riveter." This image was never actually referred to as "Rosie" during the war. Only after the war did the name of Rosie the Riveter start being applied to this particular picture. The real "Rosie" was a character on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post and was of a dainty little young lady whose arms were drawn like "man arms." The U.S. "Rosie" was probably based upon a similar character from Canada.
People are often not aware of the fact that there was also a "Wendy the Welder."
Perhaps even more obscure was the line of informative cartoons by the character known as "Jenny on the Job" who showed women how to lift boxes, eat right, and get their beauty rest.
