Rosie the Riveter We Can Do It Wrapping Paper

According to the National Museum of American History, Artist J. Howard Miller produced this image as a poster for the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company. "Though displayed only briefly in Westinghouse factories, the poster in later year has become one of the most famous icons of World War II. As women were encouraged to take wartime jobs in defense industries, they became a celebrated symbol of female patriotism. But when the war ended, many industries forced women to relinquish their skilled jobs to returning veterans." The image of the working woman with her rolled up sleeves has become a symbol of women's empowerment. • All profits from sales in this shop benefit The Vintage Fashion Guild.
