„We can do it!“ Taký bol slogan, ktorý sa objavil v kampani pri fiktívnej ikone s menom „Rosie the Riveter“ (Nitovačka Rosie) počas éry 2. sv. vojny. Rosie bola súčasťou americkej propagandy na povzbudenie žien, aby dokázali prevziať náročné povolania po mužoch, ktorí boli na fronte.
Kampaň sa uchytila. Podľa portálu history.com v roku 1945 takmer každá štvrtá vydatá žena pôsobila v „mužskej“ profesii. Keď vojna skončila, väčšinu ich miest opäť zaujali muži. V tomto článku si môžete pozrieť fotografie žien, ktoré si „obuli mužské topánky“. Fotky vznikali od roku 1941 do roku 1943 a sú majetkom Knižnice kongresu USA.
