Awesome personal interview. I will be using this video for my College reading assignment. Also, it will be helpful in analyzing my essay content. Thank you for representing the strength of working women, in a (at that time) so-call “men’s world,”.

Thank you for sharing this amazing interview!! Actually, I'm writing an article about the influence of Rosie the Riveter and the legacy of the image nowdays icon of women's empowerment. I think is very important to know the truth trough the persons who lived and made history in flesh, all those women are history and of course they do deserve a considerable mention. Its an honor to all women, who shown that... We can do it!!

Sadly, Naomi Parker Fraley (Woman behind the iconic poster) just passed away at 96 (Jan 20th 2017).www.cnn.com/2018/01/23/us/fraley-rosie-the-riveter-dies/index.html Here are some fascinating facts about the poster... "In 1942, Pittsburgh artist J. Howard Miller was hired by the Westinghouse Company's War Production Coordinating Committee to create a series of posters for the war effort. One of these posters became the famous "We Can Do It!" image-an image that in later years would also be called "Rosie the Riveter", though it was never given this title during the war. Miller is thought to have based his "We Can Do It!" poster on a United Press International wire service photograph taken of a young female war worker, widely but erroneously reported as being a photo of Michigan war worker Geraldine Hoff (later Doyle.) More recent evidence indicates that the formerly misidentified photo is actually of war worker Naomi Parker (later Fraley) taken at Alameda Naval Air Station in California. The "We Can Do It!" poster was displayed only to Westinghouse employees in the Midwest during a two-week period in February 1943, then it disappeared for nearly four decades. During the war, the name "Rosie" was not associated with the image, and the purpose of the poster was not to recruit women workers but rather as motivational propaganda aimed at workers of both sexes already employed at Westinghouse. It was only later, in the early 1980s, that the Miller poster was rediscovered and became famous, associated with feminism, and often mistakenly called "Rosie the Riveter"
