Rosie the Riveter was a symbol for the American woman during World War II. She stood for the strength of the woman while the man was gone and encouraged women to go into fields such as manufacturing to support the effort. The actual Riveter was Rosaria Montincio.
Rosie the Riveter was very important because she helped women in WW2 have more hope in become successful, job wise. She was a woman who was made up but her role in WW2 was that she made airplanes.
A symbol of working women
During World War II, American factories underwent a dramatic transformation as they shifted from consumer goods to wartime production. This mobilization led to the rapid expansion of manufacturing capabilities, resulting in the production of weapons, vehicles, aircraft, and other military supplies. Women and minorities entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers, symbolized by the cultural icon "Rosie the Riveter." Overall, this industrial effort played a crucial role in supporting the Allied war effort and ultimately contributed to the victory in the war.
WWII GI's were being released from the service, and went after jobs. At the time it was commonly thought that a woman's place was in the home and the man should be the breadwinner. Women had been hired during WWII because there were not enough men to do the work, especially with so many men in the armed forces fighting overseas, and increased pressure to increase wartime production in factories. So thousands joined the workforce for the first time, often doing hard physical jobs in wartime factories, leading to the figure of "Rosie the Riveter". BUT, when the soldiers returned after the war, the old conventions were again followed, with women being fired and returning GI's being hired in their place. After all, women may 'want' to work, but the men NEEDED to work to be the breadwinners in their post-WWII families. Note I do not agree with those attitudes or actions, but that is what lead to many women becoming unemployed after the war. ... or so I have read and been told. Paul H.
Toni L. Russell, the daughter of Leon C. and Lela (Ervin) Russell, born December 15, 1968, Corsicana Texas, first inquired to used the term "First Lady" in regards to her Pastor's Wife, Berdie Johnson who was married to the church's pastor, Elder A.Z. Johnson.The church was called Johnson Memorial Church of God in Christ. Toni, a sixth grader, had had her fill of the term "pastor's wife", as it did not justify her vision of the true manner that embodied her Pastor's Wife. Toni inquired the services of the church missionary, Ima Lois Lampkin, a high school math teacher, to petition the Church of God in Christ (C.O.G.I.C.) Headquarters to ask permission. She was thrilled to hear the term used in the Pastor and Wife Anniversary a few months later. After being approved, Sister Rosie Williams, a member of the church, called Sister Berdie the first lady, as she was speaking on the wife of the pastor at the Pastor's Anniversary. Sister Williams looked at the child when she first used it, as it had never been used ever before in that capacity. The child silently acknowledge that headquarters had given permission and after the service spoke with her mother that it had been approved.Today churches all over America now use the term without knowing that it originated from the mind of a small girl, who simply desired to call her Pastor's Wife, the only name at her disposal that reflected her Pastor's Wife spirit.

Since you posted this in Homefront, I think the word you are looking for is "riveter" for Rosie the Riverter. A riverter is one who installed rivets to fasten the parts of aluminum together. Other words; manufacturing, assembly, frabricating
Rosie the Riveter. The nickname was given so that people could talk about a woman factory worker without having to say "woman factory worker."
