"Rosie the Riveter" became an icon based on World War II recruitment posters for women defense workers. While the women in official posters were mostly White, more than 600,000 Black women civilians, in addition to Asian and Hispanic women, also heard the call.
When their nation needed them, women of color joined the fight against fascism.
Wartime "Black Rosies" (as they came to be known) proved themselves in "men's work," changing perceptions and doing their part to push the nation forward toward equality.
Every Rosie the Riveter Little Thinker plush doll is approximately 11" tall and has bendable arms - to strike that iconic "We can do it" pose!
Every 11” Little Thinker doll is distinctively dressed and wields a biographical tag with essential dates, acts, and a personal quote.
These plush companions are just as inspiring as they are cuddly because Little Thinkers are characters with character.
