J. Howard Miller
's famous poster for
Westinghouse
, entitled
We Can Do It!
, is iconically associated with
Rosie the Riveter
, a
cultural icon
of the
United States
. Rosie represented the six million women who worked in the
manufacturing plants
on the
home front
which produced munitions and material during
World War II
while the men (who traditionally performed this work) were fighting in the
Pacific
and
European
Theaters. This "character" is now considered a
feminist
icon in the U.S., and a herald of women's economic power to come.
