USA: A real life 'Rosie the Riveter' - Turret lathe operator machining parts for transport planes at the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation plant, Fort Worth, Texas, 1942.

'Rosie the Riveter' is a cultural icon of the United States representing the American women who worked in factories during World War II; many worked in manufacturing plants that produced munitions and war supplies. These women sometimes took entirely new jobs replacing the male workers who were in the military. The character is considered a feminist icon in the US and elsewhere.
