LIBERTY GIRL (ROSIE TO THE RESCUE), 
Saturday Evening Post cover, 1943

Norman Rockwell hired a professional #model for the Post #cover Liberty Girl (Rosie to the Rescue), honoring the mythical embodiment of all the new roles that now belonged to the American #woman during wartime. As a symbol of the ability of Americans to mobilize and transform themselves during the war effort, Rockwell might have chosen a more idealized or classic portrayal, just as he based Rosie the Riveter on a classic Michelangelo painting, but he chose to paint her as a girl-next-door, accentuating her authenticity. - norman_rockwell_museum
