Rosie the Riveter is an allegorical cultural icon in the United States who represents the women who worked in the factories and shipyards during World War II, many of whom produced munitions and war supplies. These women sometimes took entirely new jobs replacing the male workers who joined the military.
A suffragette was a 20th-century activist, primarily in the UK and USA, who used militant tactics, such as hunger strikes, arson, and property damage to demand women's right to vote. Originally a derogatory term coined in 1906 to belittle activists, they reclaimed it as a badge of honor under the slogan "deeds not words".
