Rosie the Riveter is the female icon of World War Two.

She represents any woman defense worker, and for many women, she's an example of a strong competent for mother.

Many of us have an image in our minds when we hear Rosie the Riveter, don't you?

The woman in the bandanna rolling up the sleeve on a raise bent arm.

The artist Norman Rockwell is closely associated with Rosie, but how many of you have heard of J.

I found something unexpected when I turned to Norman Rockwell's Rosie.

It appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post on May 29th 1943 the Memorial Day issue.

This Rosie is brawny and larger than life.

In my surprise that the two images I decided to look into the development of the myth of Rosie the Riveter.

The chronology isn't always clear, but it seems that about 1942 an artist a Westinghouse named J.

It probably is part of his company's war work.

The federal government encouraged industries to try to get more people to Goto work We can do It initially had no connection with someone named Rosie.

The next step in the rosy myth was apparently the song Rosie the Riveter by Red Evans and John Jacob Lobe, released in early 1943.

Some of the lyrics go all the day long weather, rain or shine.

Rosie the Riveter keeps a sharp lookout for sabotage.

Sitting up there on the fuselage, that little girl will do more than a male will.

There's something true about Red, white and blue about Rosie the Riveter.

So you have this song appearing in early 1943.

Then a few months later, on May 29th you get the Rockwell cover.

It seems likely that Rockwell had heard the song since he wrote the name Rosie on the lunch box in his picture.

This was a big boost to the rosy story in the 19 forties.

The circulation of the Saturday evening post was about four million, and when a Rockwell drawing was going to be on the cover, they published extra issues.

He was the most popular illustrator in the country.

Two weeks after his cover appeared on news stands, the press picked up the story of a woman named Rose Hickey.

She and her partner drove a record number of rivets into the wing of a TBM Avenger at a Tarrytown, New York, plant.

Other women named Rose gained media attention.

Before the end of the war, Rose Monroe, a Riveter in Michigan, made a film about selling war bonds and then a commercial movie called Rosie the Riveter.

Civil Lewis, an African American riveter for Lockheed aircraft in Los Angeles, gives this description of riveting.

I was the Riveter, and this big, strong white girl from a cotton farm in Arkansas worked as the bunker.

The river used a gun to shoot, rivets through the metal and fasten it together.

The bugger used a bucking bar on the other side of the metal to smooth out the rivets.

It required more muscle, riveting, required more skill.

While the Rockwell image was widely disseminated during the war.

Later, copyright restrictions meant it was less frequently reproduced.

The Miller image was without such restraints and appears everywhere.

I'd like to take a close look at the Rockwell illustration.

I was first struck by the fact that she is big and dirty.

She's oversized with working class Braun.

In reality, it's unlikely that she would have warned both.

The leather armband provides protection on the job.

You can see various pins for blood donation, victory, her security badge.

Women didn't wear pants in public much before World War two, but during the war it became common to see women on the way to and from work in overalls or trousers.

Only after July 1943 were safety shoes with metal toes produced for women.

There had been no need to manufacture these shoes in women's sizes before, because women didn't customarily work in dangerous jobs where such shoes were needed.

Most women were their own shoes, she cradles a very large, riveting gun in her lap, and it links visually Adolf Hitler's book Mine Cuff beneath her feet.

Through her defense job, she will help to crush Hitler.

The American flag background red, white and blue adds to the patriotism off the cover.

Rosie is powerful, competent and womanly, but there are contradictions in the image.

Look at the size of her arms, which are really focus of the cover.

She's working with a very large and heavy riveting gun.

It's essential to women's mental health, according to some articles of the time.

Her compact and handkerchief peek out of her pocket.

She has nail polish on her curly red hair and upturned nose.

Her visor almost looks like a halo, providing an angelic side to this strong woman.

She is depicted eating like these real women and activity linked with the home and does showing her domestic side women food home.

When the image appeared that 1943 Memorial Day, some viewers recognized a model for Rosie.

Look at this, Michelangelo's prophet Isaiah.

From the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the resemblance is remarkable.

I like the way he put her ham sandwich in his hand.

Few people catch the Michelangelo connection, but the images of Rosie continued to be very common.

In recent years, scholars have shown interest in more than the myth.

They wondered who were the real women we lumped together Under this easy phrase, aural historians have tracked down some of the World War two women defense workers and recorded their tails.

When I went looking, I found plenty of facts about these women.

The big changes that brought them into war work began in 1942 men.

We're going to war and industries were switching to war production when in need, Industries decided they were willing to hire women.

At first, there was lots of reluctance on parts of managers, husbands, male workers and many women, too.
