For over 75 years, the painting featuring a bandana clad woman with her sleeves rolled up, is the literal poster child for work in the trades industry. Many people know her face but did you know that most don\u2019t know whose face it is?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most popular reference of Rosie is in <em>Rosie the Riveter<\/em>, a song written by Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb in 1943. Inspired by [1] \u201cRosalind P. Walter, a Long Island women who was a riveter on Corsair fighter planes,\u201d the song tells the tale of a little girl who is [2] \u201cmaking history, working for victory\u201d and doing \u201cmore than a male will do.\u201d Even though Rosalind sounds like the perfect inspiration for the poster, she is not the woman behind the famous face.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the song\u2019s release, Norman Rockwell, one of the nation\u2019s most popular illustrators, drew a rendition of Rosie; however, his version was less feminine than the one we know today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/normansrosie-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/normansrosie-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/normansrosie-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/normansrosie-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/normansrosie-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/normansrosie-624x624.png 624w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/normansrosie.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Mary Keefe, a Vermont woman, as his model, Rockwell portrayed Rosie as masculine with hefty arms and a large rivet gun. [2] \u201cShe\u2019s big and dirty. She\u2019s oversized, with working-class brawn. She has no wedding ring\u201d and is wearing men\u2019s clothes. Rockwell\u2019s Rosie depicts masculinity as power while the Rosie we know depicts a strong, motivational woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But was that what she was meant for all along? Was Rosie designed as propaganda to draw women to the workforce while the men fought diligently during World War II?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is no. In fact, the wartime industrial poster, painted by J. Howard Miller, was never meant for the entire nation to see. It [1] \u201cdisplayed briefly in Westinghouse Electric Corporation Plants\u201d and \u201cwas intended only to deter absenteeism and strikes among Westinghouse employees in wartime.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though [3] \u201cRosie became one of the most successful recruitment tools in American history, and the most iconic image of working women in the World War II era\u201d, the woman responsible for the movement was unidentified for nearly 75 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took one man six years to uncover the real Rosie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2010, Dr. James J. Kimble, [1] \u201can associate professor of communication and the arts at Seton Hall University in New Jersey\u201d embarked on a quest to uncover the real Rosie. He landed first on [1] \u201cGeraldine Doyle, who in 1942 worked briefly as a metal presser in a Michigan plant.\u201d Doyle believed herself to be the woman in a newspaper photograph published the very same year she began work at the plant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie1-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie1-624x624.png 624w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In all fairness, the picture is a profile of the woman\u2019s face and it wouldn\u2019t be shocking to find that many women believed it was them in the photo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie2-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie2-624x624.png 624w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/originalrosie2.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For years, Doyle was identified as Rosie so much so that it was mentioned in her 2010 obituary. Without any proof that Doyle was in fact the real Rosie, Dr. Kimble continued his search and came across [4] \u201ca copy of the photograph with the original caption glued on the back. Dated March 1942 at the Naval Air Station in Alameda, it identified \u2018Pretty Naomi Parker\u2019 as the woman at the lathe.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Dr. Kimble met with Naomi Parker, now Naomi Parker Fraley, she wasn\u2019t shocked by his findings. [4] \u201cIn 2011, at a reunion of female war workers, she saw the Acme photo of the woman at the lathe on display and recognized herself. Then she saw the caption, with Geraldine Hoff Doyle\u2019s name and information. Fraley wrote to the National Park Service to correct the error, but got nowhere, even though she had kept a clipping of the photo from a 1942 paper with her name in the caption.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016, Dr. Kimble published an article, <em>Rosie\u2019s Secret Identity<\/em>, detailing his search and the real Rosie was finally brought to light. Kimble says, [4] \u201cI think the most important thing to her was her identity. When there\u2019s a photo of you going around that people recognize, and yet somebody else\u2019s name is below it, and you\u2019re powerless to change that &#8211; that\u2019s really going to affect you. The idea that this journal article, and the media picking it up and spreading the story, helped her regain her claim on that photo and her personal identity was really the big victory for her.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/naomieparkerfraley-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/naomieparkerfraley-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/naomieparkerfraley-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/naomieparkerfraley-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/naomieparkerfraley-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/naomieparkerfraley-624x624.png 624w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/carmenelectrode\/wp-content\/uploads\/naomieparkerfraley.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After 75 years, we now know the face behind one of the most iconic women in the nation\u2019s history. J. Howard Miller\u2019s rendition of Fraley will forever be one of the best propaganda campaigns our nation will encounter.
