Culture project week

At the beginning of this week, I attend 9 presentations. As I don't want make a catalogue of all the presentation I saw, I would only write about my favorite. I'm really interesting by the feminist story so I was quite seduce by the presentation of Stefanie Gigler about Rosie the Riveter.

Rosie the Riveter was a icon in the Second World War to recruit women for the Army/workforce. Her image was designed by Norman Rockwell, a famous American illustrator at the time. “Rosie the Riveter,” star of this government campaign aimed at recruiting female workers for the munitions industry.

Thanks to this great presentation, I learned more about the role of women before and during the Second War World. I though the conclusion was also very relevant, because Stefanie explained what happened to the women AFTER the war : they were back to their housewives lives but that was still a big step for the feminist movement and for the women emancipation.

All in all, Stephanie had clearly and smartly presented this topic. The angle she chose was very attractive and I learned some relevant point about how the American had led the Second  World War.
