Rosie the Riveter, (a name used to describe every woman working in a factory in WWII), built the tanks, ships, planes, and other weapons used by the men to kill the Germans, Italians, and Japanese on the battlefield. Without the weapons built by the women, the men would have had to fight the Axis with their bare hands, or men who could serve in the Armed Forces, would have had to stay back in the USA and build the weapons used.

How did Rosie the riveter change the world?

She didn't change the world, but represented the women who were working in the factories building the tanks and planes. During the war the government provided day care for the children of the women who worked in the factories, but as soon as the war was over they were expected to go back home and the child care was stopped. Women were returned to the status of housewives until the late 1970's and they still were not allowed to work many jobs, have credit in their own name, or attend some graduate schools. In 1990 I had to get my exhusband's signature to have my own car insurance. No, Rosie didn't change the world.
