Durante todo el día, Ya sea que llueva o haga sol Ella es parte de la cadena de montaje. Ella está haciendo historia, Trabajo para la victoria

Reto:

¿Quién es ella? ¿Qué periodo de tiempo en la historia es conocido por ella? ¿Es ella una mujer de verdad? ¿Lo qué marca qué se fue en la historia? ¿Puedes publicar una foto de ella?

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

Challenge:

Who is she? What time period in history is she known for? Is she a real woman? What mark did she leave on history? Can you post a photo of her?

Rosie the Riveter - World War II U.S.

From Wikipedia:

The term "Rosie the Riveter" was first used in 1942 in a song of the same name written by Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb. The song was recorded by numerous artists, including the popular big band leader Kay Kyser, and became a national hit. The song portrays "Rosie" as a tireless assembly line worker, doing her part to help the American war effort:

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

As I understand it, opinions vary on whether a particular woman was inspiration for the song. But the WWII war effort saw many thousands of women enter jobs previously held only by men, so she symbolizes the efforts and work of real women.

While the men were off at war, the women were handling the factory jobs left vacant by the men.
