Rosie
the Riveter an iconic figure of a strong female who fought for women workers to
archive a percentage of working class women since the World War II. This has
empowered a lot of women to work and be independent many movements started for
equal the law for the same job. The ERA, the equal right amendment the Rosie the Riveter popular culture icon was
one of the things that made women feel that in many instances, they were able
to do many of the things reserved to men. But with the advent of the second
world’s war and the need to have factories turning out machines while most men
were fighting, the theory was rearranged so to speak, Rosie the Riveter was the
woman who had self-esteem, leadership and physical confidence. Rosie’s
self-esteem helped to create jobs and opportunities for women and was the
forbearer of the achievements in equal opportunity in the work place for women
of today. The woman who
was known with the slogan We Can Do It, took it upon herself when the men was
taken to war leaving the factory jobs and many other jobs empty which caused
shortage in employees. Rosie “We can do it”. During the WWII all eligible men
who were 18 years and above were mandated to go the war, the Riveter was a
feminist who stood for the women and the nation as well. , she inspired a lot
of women to the work force, and she promoted independence among women and
recruited a lot under. All this while women have been deny employment and was
discriminated because of their gender but everything changed when Rosie took over
to empower women to work. After evaluating the theories of my work I came to
realize the decision she took help the women to get on their feet to work.
