Rosie is a trailblazer that shows that women can and will, that they are just as capable, just as smart, just as strong, all they need to do is use their voice and carry their inner light and work to prove everyone wrong. She shows that we can achieve and follow our dreams, we can contribute, she shows that we are capable. She filled a missing gap for me, showed me that anyone who tries and works hard enough can succeed, she showed me the world in a different way, a different perspective. She is a role model for me not only because she is the most inspiring and motivating icon for me, but also because she helped me understand my hidden strength. Even though Rosie isn’t a real person, she has helped me find myself, and mainly showed me that WE CAN DO IT! She represents equality, an aspect to take into deep consideration. She showed that we are all equal, a point that would have been better if gotten straight earlier.

She shows that growth comes when we work together, support each other, and celebrate each other. She shows that we all should have the same opportunities and rights, that we all should be treated with respect and dignity. She has made us take tiny steps that would eventually lead us to change the world in a way where everyone sees each other, a world where we are finally seen.

Before WWII, mostly men did mechanical jobs, like riveting, welding, construction, but that changed when WWII struck. A campaign to recruit female workers began and Rosie the Riveter was born. More than 310,000 women worked in the US aircraft industry in 1943. A major part of this was the song Rosie the Riveter by Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb.

With her flexed arm, she doesn’t just show her power, she shows our power. Let us take a few words from the song, but deeply inspiring and motivating lines into consideration. The first part says, all day long, whether rain or shine, she’s part of the assembly line. This describes how hard-working and dedicated they were to help the country when they needed it the most. Rosie the Riveter represents all that hard work and how passionate they were to help their country. This means so much to me, as I am motivated by how hardworking, determined and passionate they were. It inspires me to go for my own dreams and achieve anything. She shows me how hard work can lead you to success. The next part, she’s making history, working for victory, Rosie the Riveter. They were making history, by showing that we are just as capable, and working for victory.

It is so interesting that before the war the 1% of women workers turned into 65%. Rosie the Riveter is a role model for me because she is so inspiring and motivates me to go for my dreams. This is why Rosie is a role model for me.
