Operária que inspirou famoso cartaz da Segunda Guerra morre nos EUA
DA ASSOCIATED PRESS, EM LANSING (MICHIGAN)
Morreu nos EUA Geraldine Doyle, americana cuja foto inspirou um famoso cartaz elogiando os esforços das operárias americanas durante a Segunda Guerra (1939-45). Doyle morreu no domingo (26) em Lansing, no Michingan, aos 86 anos.
Uma foto de Doyle aos 17 anos, quando trabalhava em uma fábrica, serviu de modelo para o famoso cartaz de uma mulher vestindo um lenço na cabeça e mostrando um musculoso (?) bíceps, informou o "Lansing State Journal".
Chamada "We Can Do It!" ("Nós podemos fazer isso!", em tradução livre), a imagem inspirou filhas, irmãs e mães a trocar o trabalho doméstico por empregos em fábricas no Michigan e ao redor dos EUA, enquanto os homens estavam longe de casa, lutando na guerra.
"Rosie the Riveter" é também o nome de uma música popular dos anos 1940, e o nome de um quadro de Norman Rockwell, de uma operária segurando uma ferramenta.

“Marilyn “Rosie” Monroe
Marilyn Monroe, before she became a Hollywood star, appeared on the cover of ‘Yank’ magazine while working in a Burbank airplane factory, August 1945.
One of the “Rosies” during the WWII years was none other than Marilyn Monroe – well before she became “Marilyn the Hollywood star,” however. The August 2, 1945 issue of Yank magazine contained an article about women contributing to the war effort at home. The magazine’s cover for that issue included a photo of a woman holding a propeller blade at a factory work bench. The woman’s name was Norma Jean Dougherty, as Marilyn was then married to Merchant Marine seaman James Dougherty. The photo was taken at the assembly line of the Radio Plane munitions factory in Burbank, California. Monroe and Dougherty had married in Los Angeles in June 1942. In 1943, after Dougherty joined the U.S. Merchant Marine and was then sent overseas in 1944, Monroe started work at the Radioplane plant, where she was “discovered.” She then moved out of her mother-in-law’s home, stopped writing to her husband, and filed for divorce in Las Vegas, which was granted in September 1946. James Dougherty, meanwhile, returned from the war, married a new wife in 1947, and joined the Los Angeles Police Department. In 1950, he was one of the police officers who held back the crowd at the premiere of Monroe’s movie, The Asphalt Jungle.
