In 1943, came an image to sum up a special time.
You will probably recall that in 1943 we were in the middle of something called World War II. You may also recall that fighting a World War required a lot of men and despite political correctness men were considered the more expendable of the two sexes.
This was based on a natural selection corollary that to preserve a species you needed lots of women since one woman could bear one child per year, whereas one man could, well you get my point. Anyway, with most of the men occupied in wartime pursuits, many women were running factories to make the machines of war.
You may also recall an America’s women. An image of “Rosie the Riveter” a selfless sacrifice from master chronicler. Norman Rockwell. She was sitting demurely with a rivet gun in her lap and a ham sandwich in her hand, with the U.S. flag billowing as backdrop. She was an American beauty!
Rockwell used Mary Doyle a telephone operator from Arlington, Vermont as an inspiration for Rosie’s face. The body however, since most woman were a no show at the gym in 1943, was a body copied from Michelangelo’s “Isaiah the Prophet”. All and all an inspiration to any man in any battle and a morale booster for the troops hoping to come home soon.
