SAT Writing & Language Section Passage
SAT Writing Practice Test Title: A “Rosie” Turn on American Labor
In order to inspire patriotism and meet the country’s economic needs during 1 World War II was why the United States government launched a massive, targeted propaganda campaign. It worked with advertising agencies to create images specifically aimed at women to get them to fill industrial jobs recently vacated by men. These efforts led to the creation of one of the most famous and enduring icons in American history—an icon who 2 would have an incalculable influence on American labor and society.
The propaganda posters featured images of a coverall clad, muscular woman named Rosie the Riveter. Dirty yet wearing makeup, brawny yet feminine, 3 female factory workers were symbolized by Rosie. She represented women’s wartime work and sacrifice in an exaggerated form for inspiration. 4 Posters and literature stressed the idea that if women became “Rosies” and worked, the war would end sooner.
5 Women broke traditional gender roles to earn money and make their families proud. They began working on railroads and streetcars, as engineers and technicians, and in steel mills and lumber yards. By 1943, an additional six million women had entered the workforce. Not only did more women work as new business sectors opened to them, but the composition of the female workforce changed. Before the war, working women were primarily young and single. Middle-aged, married women joined 6 them during the war, almost one out of every four gained employment outside the home. By 1944, 62 percent of the female workforce was 35 and older, and 46 percent of all working women were wedded.
7 Rosie appeared as a white woman on posters. Changes ushered in by the campaign added significant opportunities for African American women as well. Rather than continuing to work domestic jobs for $3.50 a week, they began laboring in industrial plants for $48 a week.
By 1945, the number of African American women working for the federal government had more than tripled, and the percentage working in the defense industry was equal to 8 it’s proportion of the general population.
As a result of their entry into careers from which they were previously excluded, women exercised a newfound social and economic independence. They enjoyed having an income of their own and living on their own for the first time. 9 Comparatively, they refused to shrink back into the domestic sphere; 80 percent who worked outside the home wished to continue doing so by the war’s end. Women continued to push for 10 expanded job opportunities, entry into professional roles, and greater access to higher education. As the graph suggests, Rosie’s influence persisted even after the war. 11 To this day, Rosie continues to influence women as a symbol of feminism in popular culture.
