, Painting Analysis & Reflection 2


During the year 1943, America was approaching the end of World War II and one of the

most historical movements for women arose through art. Norman Rockwell created an oil

Though, at the time, Rosie the Riveter was considered art it was a painting none the less. A

woman, simply eating a sandwich, dressed in a denim work jumpsuit, and holding a riveting gun

on her lap. Symbolically, an American flag freely flowing behind Rosie with her feet crushing

plane mechanics, nurses, pilots and factory workers after the publishing of this painting.

During World War II, the jobs mentioned above were not jobs for women. Women were

only expected to be homemakers and nothing more. However, while men were being recruited

for war, these incredible women took over when America needed them the most. As women
