- Rosie the Riveter was the star of a U.S Government campaign aimed at recruiting female workers for defense industries during World War II. Similar images of women war workers appeared in other countries such as Britain and Australia. Rosie became a worldwide cultural icon representing the women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II, many of whom produced ammunition and war supplies.
During WWII, major campaigns were launched in the U.S. to encourage women to enter the workforce, and to convince their husbands that this was appropriate behavior. Government campaigns for women focused solely on housewives, perhaps because already employed women could move to the higher-paid "essential" jobs on their own, or perhaps in the belief that housewives would be the primary source of new workers. Propaganda was also directed toward husbands, many of whom were unwilling to permit their wives to work. Fiction (fiction was considered any stories, written in magazines, movies, books, etc.) also addressed husbands' resistance to their wives working.
Due to these campaigns, the number of working women jumped 15% from 1941 to 1943. Nearly 19 million women held jobs during World War II. Many of these women were already working in lower-paying jobs or were returning to the workforce after being laid off during the depression. Three million new female workers entered the workforce during wartime. Many women discovered they enjoyed the autonomy these jobs provided them. It allowed women to expand their own expectations and ideas of womanly duties and capabilities. Unfortunately, as men began to return home from war, the U.S government instituted another propaganda campaign urging women to essentially leave the workforce and return home "to normalcy."

God bless these ladies
It is unquestioned that women worked in the World War II, but not in good conditions. And these particular ladies mind you, a good actress who basically did their role. They didn’t do the work, that’s why they seemed happy.
Great beautiful strong dependable women.. thank you for posting appreciated
Glad you enjoyed it!!

It was very important what these capable women did. However, they fought for freedoms and they plus we didn't see those freedoms materialize, proof is in that none of them were my instructors and supervisors in one of the many industrial - male-hoarded jobs they took on. There was no sharing with those women who wanted to stay on in-place of men who came back wounded or otherwise non-employable, it was back to the sane old economy destroying male plan with women hardly able to afford and contribute in life.
The video cut off in the middle of a comment towards the end, though I can guess what was said. 'These women were used and then trashed before their useful working lives were over.' That's one way I'll put that whole last comment. 😢
