During World War II, millions of American women entered the workforce—many for the first time—as the wartime economy created job opportunities that had traditionally belonged to men. "Rosie the Riveter" became one of the most popular and enduring symbols of the era, a representation of women's contributions to the war effort on the Home Front.
