  2. The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter • Documentary produced in 1980 about American women who went to work during World War Two in traditionally male dominated jobs. • Talks about their experiences during and after the war, as well as gives attention to society’s conception of women’s work during and after the war. • The film’s title refers to “Rosie the Riveter”– the cultural icon representing women who worked in manufacturing during World War Two.

  3. Formative Discussion! • What were women’s war experiences? What type of work did they do? What type of conditions did they work under? • How were traditional understandings of gender used to justify women’s participation in traditionally male dominated roles? • What role did images, media, government policy, and other forms of “messaging” have on women’s employment and work experience? • Was war labor empowering for women?
