J. Howard Miller&#8217;s &#8220;We Can Do It!&#8221; poster was displayed in a single factory for two weeks in June 1943 and seen only by some of the people working there. Fast-forward to the 21st century and Miller&#8217;s Rosie adorns campaign posters, t-shirts, and commemorative stamps. Hell, Beyonc\u00e9 even uploaded an image of herself to Instagram striking the iconic Rosie pose.<\/p>\n<p>You could put this down to a simple blip of history, a mistake somewhere down the line that has self-multiplied until now. But the images societies and people use to invoke the past tells you a lot about the way they want that past remembered. They can also be points of competition between different ways to remember the past. Is Rosie a symbol of feminism or American patriotism?<\/p>\n<p>There is so much to pick apart. We&#8217;d be interested to hear your thoughts, what do you think Rosie represents in the 21st century?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The World War II Old Time Radio Channel<\/strong><br \/>\n1 hour ago<br \/>\nI have no facts to back this up. In my opinion the now iconic &#8220;We can do it&#8221; poster became popular in the 1970&#8217;s during the feminist movement. That would make sense to me anyway.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jon Doyle<\/strong><br \/>\n1 hour ago<br \/>\nSimilar thing has happened with the &#8220;keep calm and carry on&#8221; posters in the UK. They were only in some government offices and were meant to be mass distributed in the event of invasion. Yet have now entered the <em>zeitgeist<\/em> as some ubiquitous wartime staple. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-2022-07-20-at-11-26-09-The-Myth-of-Rosie-the-Riveter-\u2013-On-the-Homefront-016-Quotulatiousness.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-2022-07-20-at-11-26-09-The-Myth-of-Rosie-the-Riveter-\u2013-On-the-Homefront-016-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-75083\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-2022-07-20-at-11-26-09-The-Myth-of-Rosie-the-Riveter-\u2013-On-the-Homefront-016-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-2022-07-20-at-11-26-09-The-Myth-of-Rosie-the-Riveter-\u2013-On-the-Homefront-016-Quotulatiousness-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-2022-07-20-at-11-26-09-The-Myth-of-Rosie-the-Riveter-\u2013-On-the-Homefront-016-Quotulatiousness-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-2022-07-20-at-11-26-09-The-Myth-of-Rosie-the-Riveter-\u2013-On-the-Homefront-016-Quotulatiousness.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published 19 Jul 2022 With American men going off to fight the war, there are concerns about a labor shortage.
