During World War 2 the United States of America needed men to fight against Germany's Nazis'. All ages and types of the men were forced to fight for their country and be in the presence of war. Since at that time women did not have that many rights and usually were house wives, men obviously took control of paying jobs and ran the country. Entitled to World War 2's demand of America's men at war, there were no men to take control of the jobs and the country. In order to keep America running while their sons and husbands were gone, the women took over and learned how to do the impossible ever done in history. They learned how to be blacksmiths, carpenters, handy people, shoe makers, and etc.
After World War 2 men came back to their country and wanted to have their job's back, but the women liked their taste of independence and wanted to keep that. There was a strike held of gender equality such as "girls can do anything boys can do". Organizations were created for women who had a desire to take on jobs that were said that only guys were capable of doing, and Rosie the Riveter was created. Rosie the Riveter is a fictional character that symbolizes the historical beginning of women.
