There was a nickname of "Rosie the Riveter" on a poster of a fictitious woman. They were not all called Rosie the Riveters but it was an affectionate name for the gals going to work on the planes and many other war manufacturing places. They loved the work too. The gals who did the riveting came to have rivet styles they called signatures. The inspectors could tell who riveted the planes by their rivet style. My friend who was a riveter told me she was really good at it and some of the inspectors said the women were better than the men doing riveting. Another woman had a fun job of riding a bicycle fitted with baskets. She delivered supplies to all the manufacturing stations and messages too. She admitted she delivered some coffees and lunches too!
