Created as a piece of World War II propaganda, the Smithsonian Rosie the Riveter Poster continues to stand as a cultural symbol of strength and resilience. Originally designed by J. Howard Miller in 1943 for the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, this poster features a woman in a blue work shirt, red polkadot bandana, and a defiant pose beneath the slogan "We Can Do It!" It represents the millions of American women who entered the workforce during wartime, taking on jobs traditionally held by men. With bold primary colorsyellow background, navy blue clothing, and red accentsthe image is both visually impactful and historically meaningful. The vintage art style and strong composition give it timeless appeal, making it ideal for decorating classrooms, offices, or homes where empowerment and motivation are important themes. As an officially licensed Smithsonian reproduction, this poster offers a faithful representation of the original artwork.
