Written Analysis 5 Due 09/27/14
The
slogan We Can Do It was said by Rosie the Riveter who changed the work force
for women in America to redefine the place of a woman. Before Rosie the
Riveter, the theory of division of labor between the sexes was well defined.
The man was the bread winner who goes out every day to earn a wage and bring
home the food. The woman place in society was at home to cook and clean, bake cookies
and take care of the children. But everything came to an end when Rosie the
Riveter came up with new ideas of working woman. Nothing can be done under this
sun without a woman I can say America history would never be built without a
woman. The Rosie the Riveter popular culture icon was one of the people who
made women feel that in many instances, they were able to do many of the things
reserved to men. The most very interesting thing was Doyly who played an
important roll We Can Do It ironically lasted for only two weeks on the job
before quitting her job saying she feared hand injury because it will prevent
her from playing her cello. In one way or the other I think Rosie the Riveter
differently changed the era because of Equal Rights was Amendment which was a proposed amendment to
the United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal rights for women and was
passed years later in 1972, was one of the results of the shift in the theory. It is important to have pop culture in a
society because they personify hope and good will. Our culture reaches out to people
through pop culture because they are people we look up to in many ways also
they give us hope and represent people we would like to be like.
