Rosie the Riveter

From the Canton Review.

A song was written about her called "Rosie the Riveter." Part of it went:

All the day long,
Whether rain or shine
She's part of the assembly line.
She's making history,
Working for victory
Rosie the Riveter.

According to the National Park Service, the Rosie the Riveter propaganda focused on several themes to get them to work:

** Patriotic Duty
** High Earnings
** Glamour of the Work
** Similar to Housework
** Spousal Pride

The Greatest Generation. --Cooter
