Behind the scenes

This poster is based on the iconic "Rosie the Riveter" poster from World War II, created by graphic artist J. Howard Miller for the Westinghouse Electric Corporation to inspire the company's workers. In the early 1980s, Miller's poster emerged in popular culture as an image of female empowerment.[2]
