"Rosie the Riveter"
The image of "Rosie the Riveter" represented the vast number of female workers who filled jobs vacated by the men fighting in World War II. Their spirit of "We can do it" inspired not only their contemporaries on the home front but each subsequent generation of working women in all fields of employment
More than ten thousand Oklahoma women worked at the Douglas Aircraft Company and Tinker Field during this crucial period in the nation's history.
Dedicated March 23, 2000
Donated by the Tinker AFB
