In World War II, when America got into the war, most all the men went to fight. When the men were out in the war, there was no one or little amounts of people working at the factories. So the government posted signs everywhere to encourage the women to work at the factories. These signs held pictures of "Rosie the Riviter". She was a lady showing her muscels and saying "We can do it!". Now, the unskilled people, however, that did not go out to war, were either starving to death because they didn't have a job or worked at a family business and got enough money to support themselves.
Norman Rockwell used the Rosie name for his cover for the May 29, 1943 Saturday Evening Post, which depicted a model, Mary Doyle Keefe, not the original Rosie Monroe. Keefe was paid $5 a day for two mornings' sittings. On May 22, 2002, Rockwell's painting of Rosie the Riveter was auctioned by Sotheby's for $4,959,500.

Rosie was not one person. she was a symbol of power for women in WW II. She encouraged women to take action and work in factories. this is a common picture of her:

Because of the absence of men, American women on the homefront were recruited in the name of patriotism, to do heavy, assembly-line production work, many in the shipbuilding industry, connecting steel pieces with rivits-->gaining the nickname "Rosie the Riviter."
yes, she is a super model.
Rosie the Riveter was never married. She was a fictional character used to get women to take over jobs that the men left behind as they went to fight in the war.
The purpose of Rosie the Riveter is to tell women that we can be strong and we can help out in World War 2
