Answer 1

Rosie the Riveter made the women believe that they could work in the factories and work like all og the men since they were all in the war at the time. You know they had to make a living too. :)

Answer 2

When the United States entered the Second World War, ''Rosie the Riveter

'' became an important symbol for women workers in the American defense industries. During the war years, women became streetcar conductors, taxicab drivers, business managers, commercial airline checkers, aerodynamic engineers, and railroad workers. Women operated machinery, streetcars, buses, cranes, and tractors. They unloaded freight, built dirigibles and gliders, worked in lumber mills and steel mills, and made munitions. In essence, women occupied almost every aspect of industry. Back then not a lot of men believed that women working was well, ''a good idea''. It was almost a battle of the sexes. Women wanted to prove that even in hard times their work meant something. Like the cover, ''we can do it''.

Yay for women!:)

Answer 3

It was another form of the women's suffrage movement. Until then women were only nurses and other female type roles. After this women started to be used in workforces in lighter duty tasks typically only given to male workers. When the war ended the women in many cases kept doing the same jobs. Proud todo the jobs of the men, it was many many years however before male and female salaries were equalized. Rosie the riveter wasn't paid the same wage a man would have made...
