Abstract

Explored here are the training considerations for Rosie the Riveter, the fictional female icon created by the U.S. government as propaganda to draw women to working for the war industries. An observation is that “ordinary” training processes can be tethered to what we in the present day would now consider extraordinary contexts. Specifically, whether sexist ephemera or fervid fundamentalist movements training has borne witness to or aided and abetted human events both in triumph and in ignominy.
