A familiar WWII poster in the US is said to have been inspired by Naomi Parker Fraley. She passed away this past weekend.

Sad. RIP. She inspired so many to speed up the war effort.

PS. Many people today don't know that there was a "color code" to the scarf:

The 'other' Rosie (Rockwell's) is really depicted as a
riveter. The Women's Ordnance Worker Rosie predates
Rockwell's, of course.

The WOW Rosie as depicted in the 'We Can Do It' poster
isn't wearing a WOW headscarf, just a red scarf with
white circles/dots.

I wonder if that was to avoid copyright infringement ?
