This popular poster entitled "We Can Do It!" by Howard Miller depicts Rosie the Riveter, who represents the movement during World War II in which women fulfilled the roles of military men who were away at war. At the time, this poster was used as a form of propaganda as it encouraged women to be strong and stand up for what they believe in. Rosie continues to be a feminist icon in the United States today, as women continue to gain more economic power. Personally, I have always enjoyed this particular piece because it reminds women that they should not feel inferior to men. Women have the strength and ability to do anything they put their minds to, whether that entails being a construction worker or a housewife. I believe that every woman can be inspired by the simple phrase..."We Can Do It!"
