Operating a hand drill at the North American Aviation, Inc., a woman is in the control surface department assembling a section of the leading edge for the horizontal stabilizer of a plane. Although the image of "Rosie the Riveter" reflected the industrial work of welders and riveters, the majority of working women filled non-factory positions in every sector of the economy. What unified the experiences of these women was that they proved to themselves, and the country, that they could do a man's job and could do it well. Photographed by Alfred T. Palmer, 1942.

RM2B00XNB–USA: A real-life 'Rosie the Riveter' operating a hand drill at Vultee-Nashville, Tennessee, working on an A-31 Vengeance dive bomber. Photo by Alfred T. Palmer (1906-1993), Library of Congress, 1943. 'Rosie the Riveter' is a cultural icon of the United States representing the American women who worked in factories during World War II; many worked in manufacturing plants that produced munitions and war supplies. These women sometimes took entirely new jobs replacing the male workers who were in the military. The character is considered a feminist icon in the US and elsewhere.
