Photo Study: Candice Can Do!

This photograph is inspired by Rosie the Riveter, an American cultural icon that represents the women who worked in factories during World War II. These women helped to produce the ammunition and supplies needed by the troops during the war.

Rosie the Riveter is commonly used as a symbol of feminism and women’s economic power as a whole. The term Rosie the Riveter was first used in 1942 in a song of the same name written by Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb.
