Sarah Palin has morphed into the classic WWII poster, often called Rosie the Riveter.
That original poster was created by J. Howard Miller for Westinghouse's War Production, in 1942, from a photo of Geraldine Boyle, a Michigan factory worker. Consequently, with government-commissioned works, the poster is in the public domain.
Rosie was also a 1943 Saturday Evening Post cover, painted by Norman Rockwell. The original sold for nearly $5 million in 2002. His Rosie is a little more classical in her proportions, and she's crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her work boot, not the Idiot's Guide To The Constitution as in this Dan Nance parody!
