We Can Do It!

Seventy years ago, J. Howard Miller’s poster “Rosie the Riveter” poster debuted. The Westinghouse Corporation commissioned the artwork and the campaign, designed to spur production among women workers, was supposed to run for two weeks throughout their factories. Miller’s image has endured and evolved over the years, inspiring new audiences and becoming a symbol of empowerment for women.
