Rosie the Riveter Novelty Silk Scarf

Original Context: Created for the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, this image was originally displayed for a brief two-week period starting February 15, 1943. It was aimed at boosting the morale of existing factory workers—specifically those molding helmet liners out of Micarta resin—rather than recruiting new workers. From the early 1980s to now, Rosie represents female empowerment. This scarf can be worn or hung up as decoration.   Excellent overall condition & beautifully hand rolled edges.  Measures 25” x 34”
