Rosie Ruiz

of the most famous and popular icons was Rosie the Riveter. The "We Can Do It!" poster by J. Howard Miller was rediscovered in the 1980s and made into a cultural icon for feminism during the 1940s. Rosie the Riveter was a very popular term and it was "coined" in by a song of the same name by Redd Evans and Jacob John Leob. Also the term "Rosies" became popular not only for women who worked with rivets, but any woman whose work helped the war effort. Rosie the Riveter presented the idea that…

I have chosen an American wartime propaganda poster produced by J. Howard Miller in 1943 for Westinghouse Electric as an inspirational image to boost worker morale. This poster is called, “We Can Do It” but is also referred to as “Rosie the Riveter” because of the woman illustrated on the poster. “The "We Can Do It!" image was used to promote feminism and other political issues beginning in the 1980s. The image made the cover of the Smithsonian magazine in 1994 and was fashioned into a US…

the name “Rosie the Riveter” does not ring a bell, her face is one someone cannot go a lifetime without seeing. This piece of propaganda, and many others including songs and stories, are all part of the campaign that is Rosie the Riveter. Originated in the early the 1940’s, this campaign inspired millions of women to get out of the typical home life and start working the men’s jobs. The impact of this campaign is not confined to just World War II years, though. For the past 75 years, Rosie has…

World War II brought about many changes for Americans. For the first time a war significantly affected everyone living in America, not just the ones fighting overseas. As soon as Japan attacked Pearl Harbor the lives of American drastically changed. Due to producing and shipping materials for the war effort, little was left at home for the citizens. Several everyday items were rationed including clothing, gasoline, and food. Americans had to live with less and work harder to give more. Once…

Rosie the Riveter a Visual Icon of feminism Born as a propaganda tool during World War II Rosie the Riveter has become an iconic visual representation of feminism that still resonates today. Rosie’s bold and memorable statement of “We Can Do It” encouraged women of the era to challenge industry thought and norms along the lines of political, social and economic equality. The image of a strong and determined Rosie inspired the new working woman entering the workforce for the first time in…

smooshed together with the characters from Up. All the characters had heads that were bigger than their bodies. My brother and I looked much younger. Another photo that I found in this album was of my two dogs and me: Tucker and Rosie. I love this photo because my dog Rosie looks as if she is smirking. I am wearing a polka dot dress and I have a wide smile on my face. I might also consider bringing some photos of famous landmarks because I don’t ever want to forget all the places I have been…

Lauren McDonnell Ms. Joseph AP Comp/Hour 7 31 May 2016 Subculture essay We all think they’re pyscho. They run for fun. That was only the second sentence of my essay and I already violated a common rule by using the opposites run and fun in the same sentence. And this isn’t even your everyday running to the fridge for a snack within the 20-second time span between Netflix episodes. We’re talking a whopping 26.2 miles. So surely everyone who runs this distance without pleading for death must…
