The most famous two week job in the history of the world, although the model pictured, real name Geraldine Hoff Doyle, wasn't widely known until this poster was used in the nineteen eighties as a symbol of the women's movement. Formerly, it was part of a Westinghouse program that trained young women workers. The original Rosie quit the job after two weeks, because she wanted to become a cello player and was afraid she'd injure her hand. She wasn't aware of the poster herself until years later. Her husband died earlier this year.
