The fictional character Rosie the Riveter was on World War II posters that illustrated the entry of women into new areas of the workforce when many of the men entered the armed forces.

However, the woman who posed for the original J. Howard Miller poster ("We can do it!") was Geraldine Doyle, who died at age 86 on December 26, 2010. The woman who was the model for Norman Rockwell's Saturday Evening Post cover was Shirley Karp Dick, who died at 85 on January 15, 2009.
