Rosie the riveter sacrifices for WW II

ROSIE the RIVETER


The above image is a propaganda poster of World War II. It shows "Rosie the riveter" participating in the war effort. It shows how women were making their sacrifices to the glorious war. Women never stop reminding us of the sacrifices they made in the great war. Even women need glory.

All our history books and movies portray a nation where everyone is sacrificing equally in WW II. No one mentions that 64% of the "Greatest Generation" military personnel in WW II had to be drafted! Only 1/3 of the Vietnam era military had to be drafted.

Rosie the Riveter posters implies women made equal sacrifices as men. The following image demonstrates the sacrifices of men.

The image of dead soldiers on a beach in Papua New Guinea was published by Life magazine September 20, 1943, 21 months after Pearl Harbor, and the first published pictures of dead soldiers of WW II.
