From the October 5, 2016, "See Rosie the Riveter at 95: Woman Who Inspired WWII Poster was lost to history for 7 decades" by Tiare Dunlap.
Naomi Parker-Fraley turned 95 in 2009, did not think the iconic Rosie the Riveter poster looked much like her when she first saw it. She was one of six million women who worked in U.S. wartime industries while the men were away fighting.
The poster was based on a photo taken in 1942 and it caught the eye of artist J. Howard Miller who made the poster in 1943.
There are some who also think woman was Geraldine Hoff Doyle (1924-2010). Mrs. Fraley is still alive.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
