History of "We Can Do It!" and Rosie the Riveter

The "We Can Do It!" poster was created in 1943 by artist J. Howard Miller for the Westinghouse Electric company as part of a campaign to boost worker morale during World War II. Although not widely distributed originally, it became one of the most iconic symbols of the 20th century.

Who was Rosie the Riveter?

Rosie the Riveter was not a real person, but a cultural symbol that represented the millions of American women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II, producing munitions and war materials while men fought on the front lines.
