so there’s a lot of beautiful Rosie the Riveters out there, and I’ve compiled a set of them, so we can appreciate them all together :)
ps I don’t know the artists or women depicted for most of these, so if you have info, let me know and I’ll add it!
- original print (J. Howard Miller)
- Sabina England (artist and portrayal)
- unknown
- Kelly Rowland (portrayal); Derek Blanks (photographer)
- Guatelmalan Woman of Quetzalteca Especial (artist: Mario Lanz)
- unknown
- Roshan the Riveter (artist: Omid Hast)
- Latina Rosie the Riveter (artist: my-little-native)
- Robert Valadez (artist)
- unknown
And of course, the original Rosie
FUN FACT: The REAL Rosie’s weren’t primarily white. Most of these women were African American women establishing themselves in the work force.
For all of the women voters, please choose wisely this election. Before Santorum suspended his campaign, media was flooded with “the war on women”. We’re now facing facts that candidate Romney’s wife, Ann, has never worked a day in her life. Romney is targeting married women and mothers who are more conservative. When casting your vote this election, keep in mind who will be sensitive and aware of women’s rights and issues of today. And just keep in mind that “Obamacare” will mandate employers to provide women workers with free preventative care services. I’m just saying.
