cutiger83 Posted January 23, 2018 Share #3 Posted January 23, 2018 There has been some discrepancy as to who was the original model for Rosie. There was another woman who passed away 2 years ago who was also identified as the original Rosie. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/238407-rip-rosie-the-riveter-aka-mary-doyle-keefe-of-ct/?hl=%2Brosie+%2Bthe+%2Briveter No matter who was the original Rosie for the advertisement, these women did amazing work. Anyone who has ever riveted an airplane understands the hard work involved. ....Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as more than one claimed to be the iconic couple kissing on Times Square, we may never know definitively who was the original Rosie. As I said, no matter who was the original Rosie, these women did amazing work. May this Rosie, RIP. Thank you for her service to our country.
