RIP Rosie the Riveter

For obvious reasons, this one hits home a bit.

Geraldine Hoff Doyle, Inspiration Behind 'We Can Do It!' Poster, Dead at 86

 

I wonder if we're going to have other women come out of the woodwork claiming to be the real inspiration, much like we did when after the death of the nurse in the famous V-Day Times Square picture?

 

Yes We Can!

 

My first thought when I read the story was where is the original picture? I think it would be pretty hard to have someone else come out of the woodwork, especially if the original photo is available.

With the V-Day pic of the nurse, you can't see her face so it is very easy for others to claim her identity.
