We Can Do It! Paper Plate

What Patriotic 40s collection would be complete without Rosie the Riveter? Here is a set of eight 9” paper plates with an image of that memorable poster of Rosie with a double yellow border. Rosie is a cultural icon of the United States, representing the American women who worked in factories during World War II, many of whom worked in the manufacturing plants that produced munitions and war supplies. These women sometimes took entirely new jobs replacing the male workers who were in the military. Rosie the Riveter is commonly used as symbol of feminism and women's economic power. See matching candy jar, espresso cup, flask, pitcher, shot glass, teapot and coasters. See the entire Patriotic 40s Plate collection in the FOOD/BEV | Dishes section.
