The “women worked the factories” trope is hilarious, they could barely keep factories alive with female staff and the Rosie the riveter campaign was started specifically to keep female employee retention
The woman who modeled for the famous We Can Do It! poster quit her job 2 or 3 weeks in because she was afraid she'd hurt her fingers which would prevent her from playing the viola. We Can Do It!

And iirc the woman in the Rosie the Riveter poster quit her factory job for something much easier later on lol
She never had a factory job. The chick was a model and Rockwell drawing was of some 19 year old telephone operator whom he enlarged for the picture.
It was all fake, always fake, and acknowledged as propaganda.

“Well, Not Me, But You Can Do It” wasn’t as catchy.
