Abstract
As men enlisted in the armed services, and the need for more ships, and guns, and war supplies grew, the government focused on the recruitment of women to fill those jobs left open by men. The war Production Coordinating Committee commissioned artist, J. Howard Miller to create one of many posters aimed at encouraging women to do their patriotic duty and help their country. Miller pictured rosie the riveter rolling up her sleeves to show powerful arms that could take the place of men in the many jobs that women were asked to do. The hard work had in no way made her less of a woman however. Her hair is tied back with a red and white scarf and her face is distinctly feminine. "We Can Do It!" is her message to women.
