"Rosie the Riveter" was used as propaganda, or information to sway the publics opinion, by the government during WWII. This advertisement was used to encourage and motivate women to join the war effort. The beautiful looking Rosie, created by Norman Rockwell, "was a white woman wearing a polka-dot bandada wrapped around hair and a blue work shirt with the sleevs rolled up. She is flexing her right arm, showing muscle," says Gourley in //Rosie and Mrs. America//. Another photo of Rosie the Riveter is described by the Library of Congress as "a brawny, smudged, red-headed worker, unlike the tidier, more familiar images of **Rosie** the Riveter. She is a strong woman capable of doing a “man's job,” and she appeared on the cover of a magazine that actively encouraged women to join the workforce during World War II." Rockwell's Rosie changed the image of the American woman and led to a change of women's roles in society.
