Rosie the Riveter has long been the symbolic icon of women working in American industry during World War II. This stunning color photograph from June 1942 showcases a real life study of that homefront dynamic. The unidentified woman in the picture is working at a North American Aviation, Inc. plant in California. The picture was taken by photographer Alfred T. Palmer who was at the time working for the Farm Security Administration-Office of War Information Collection.
