Answer 1

Answer with Explanation

The image was a symbol of a working woman who is strong and hard working. It represents that she was patriotic and also helpful which encouraged a lot of workers to stay focused, strong and determined about their work. It always reminded the workers to stay tough and substantial to show interest and complete their tasks with full determination. Rosie became an iconic image of America in the fight to broaden women’s civil rights. The image played a key role in the effort to recruit women for the wartime workforce.

Answer 2

In the song "Rosie the Riveter" (1942) by Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb, the lyrics paint an image of a strong, hard working and patriotic woman.

Unlike other women that spend their time among luxury, caviar and being idle, Rosie is a hard working woman that contributes to the war effort, working overtime in the assembly line. She is separated from feminine stereotypes, not being idle nor getting nervous or having time for small talk.

This image of patriotism is reinforced by her having a marine boyfriend, and they both work to win the war: he in the battlefield and Rosie in the factory. She is so patriotic (equated with intelligence) that she wishes she could buy all the war bonds and find more wyas to contribute to the USA winning WW2.
