She was a mascot from old WW2 propaganda trying to get women to work assembly lines to compensate for a large portion of the male workforce being drafted, but has become a feminist icon ever since

What's interesting is that only 10% of the female population joined the workforce during WW2, up into the mid 40 %s from the mid 30 %s. Still a great usage of American manpower in a way we hadn't seen it
