Rosie, was not a real person, she was a role model, made up to help women step up, and take the place of there husbands, while they were at war.
She is a great icon though, and has made it through all these years!
Hope this helps!

Rosie the Riveter was a fictional character. During World War 2, with many men in the military, many women went to work in America's factories. Rosie the Riveter represented all of those women, standing for independence, women's rights and advancement, and their contribution to the war effort.

When the United States entered World War II in December 1941, life changed for everyone. All the factories were literally begging for help. They desperately needed workers, as the meager reserve of men who had not gone to war was exhausted. The US Department of Labor declared a shortage of workers. To satisfy the demands, women were actively recruited for the work force. This change in the norms of society met opposition, so the government created the Rosie the Riveter propaganda campaign
The image most iconically associated with Rosie is J. Howard Miller's famous poster for Westinghouse, entitled We Can Do It! which was modeled on Michigan factory worker Geraldine Doyle

She was real as a whole group of females that worked in factories during the war (WWII) I believe. The women worked in the factories making planes and equipment for the war effort because the men that usually worked in these plants were abroad fighting the war.

It was a term used for female industrial workers during world war two. They stayed here and made clothes and stuff while the men went to fight.
