This iconic wartime propaganda image, "We Can Do It," by J. Howard Miller in 1943 for Westinghouse Electric was created as an "inspirational image to boost worker morale." Named "Rosie the Riveter" after the iconic figure of a strong female war production worker, this image can be argued to be one of the first iconic feminist artworks. This image shows a strong, tough woman that is a hard worker in the production field-all attributes associate with men. This empowering image is just one of many images women look to as sources of female empowerment and feminism.
