Beyonce Channels 'Rosie the Riveter' on Instagram
. The original Rosie the Riveter image appeared on the Memorial Day issue of The Saturday Evening Post, and was quite a bit brawnier than the character's next iteration on the iconic "We Can Do It" posters. Norman Rockwell, the artist who created the images, was likely inspired by the early 1943 song "Rosie the Riveter" by Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb (hear it here). The lyrics include the lines "All the day long/ Whether rain or shine/ She's a part of the assembly line/ She's making history/ Working for victory/ Rosie the Riveter/ Keeps a sharp lookout for sabotage/ Sitting up there on the fuselage/ That little girl will do more than a male will do." That seems like precursor, of sorts, to Beyonc� lyrics like "Who run the world? Girls!" The singer hasn't made any comments as to the significance of the photo. See it here.
