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.
