Geraldine Doyle, who ran a machine for a short time during the second world war, and became the woman behind the poster, died this week.
"...(but) Another Michigan woman, Rose Will Monroe, was the best-known "Rosie" after being featured in a wartime promotional film about female factory workers."
and Rockwell's painting was based on Shirley Karp Dick.some of us postdate the war but predate modern feminism...and our role models were women who unlike "modern" feminists could do a man's work but did not despise being a woman/wife/mother.
headsup Jawas.
