Rosie the Riveter by Nicole

Rosie the Riveter was a strong character featured by government add campaigns to help encourage women to work in factories.She was shown as a strong woman working hard in factories to show that women could help with World War 2 even close to home.She was used to encourage women to work in factories building air crafts and machines for the war.She became the respectful name for millions of American women who worked in defense plants during World War 2.The women who worked in the factories earned the name"rosies" because of their strong will to work.Rosie the Riveter was so important the government created a song about her!Thanks to Rosie many women went to work in the factories.Sadly after the war the factories didn't need the women so the fired them.But the women proved to be strong workers and the world learned that women are strong after all.
