New icon
I’ve been working very hard lately, and decided I wanted a new icon for those occasions when I’m feeling very Wonder Woman. So here it is, from Rosie the Riveter by Norman Rockwell from the cover of the Saturday Evening Post, 1943. The link leads to the Rosie the Riveter site, with a picture of the original painting and info about it.
Here’s the song, a product of its times:
All the day long,
Whether rain or shine,
She’s a part of the assembly line.
She’s making history,
Working for victory,
Rosie the Riveter.
Keeps a sharp lookout for sabotage,
Sitting up there on the fuselage.
That little girl will do more than a male will do.
Rosie’s got a boyfriend, Charlie.
Charlie, he’s a Marine.
Rosie is protecting Charlie,
Working overtime on the riveting machine
When they gave her a production “E”,
She was as proud as she could be,
There’s something true about,
Red, white, and blue about,
Rosie the Riveter.
Now pardon me, I’ve got a lot of work to do here on the home front today!
