The Canvas Prints Australia Difference
What our Customers Say
The “We Can Do It!” poster, often referred to as the Rosie the Riveter poster has become one of the most iconic pieces of American wartime propaganda. Originally produced in 1943 by artist J. Howard Miller for the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, this poster was intended to boost morale among female workers in the war industry during World War II. It features a determined-looking woman, her hair tied in a polka-dot bandana, rolling up her sleeve with the slogan “We Can Do It!” boldly written above her head. Though the woman depicted was never officially named Rosie, she came to symbolise the character “Rosie the Riveter,” who represented the millions of women entering the workforce to support the war effort. Over time, the poster transcended its original purpose, evolving into a symbol of female empowerment and resilience.
Contrary to popular belief, the poster wasn’t widely distributed during the war. It was initially displayed only within Westinghouse factories for a limited time as part of a series designed to encourage loyalty and effort among the workforce. The real “Rosie the Riveter” cultural phenomenon actually began with a 1942 song of the same name by Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb, celebrating the industrious women taking on heavy manufacturing jobs. Norman Rockwell’s painting on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post in May 1943 further cemented the idea of “Rosie” in the American psyche. Miller’s “We Can Do It!” image, however, remained relatively obscure until it was rediscovered in the 1980s and came to represent this cultural shift retroactively.
The resurgence of this poster in the 1980s came at a time when feminist movements were gaining traction, and the image of a strong, capable woman was celebrated once again, this time with a broader message of gender equality. The poster has since been reprinted, adapted, and referenced countless times in pop culture, from magazine covers to political campaigns, serving as a timeless call for perseverance and equal opportunity. Although the original message was aimed at a specific demographic in a unique historical moment, its reinterpretation highlights a universal aspiration for strength and empowerment. This adaptability has cemented “We Can Do It!” as one of the enduring visual representations of women’s rights and contributions.
Today, the “We Can Do It!” poster is more than just a historical artefact; it is a piece of art with significant cultural value, studied in both art and history circles for its impact on visual culture. Museums, galleries, and collectors value the image not only for its aesthetic and historical context but also for its lasting resonance across generations. The simple yet powerful composition, with a straightforward slogan, allows viewers to connect instantly with the message. The poster has come to represent far more than the war effort, embodying ideals of equality, strength, and perseverance that continue to inspire people around the world.
