Cast: 2m., 8w., extras (3 radio announcers, voice of FDR, male family members and male factory workers). When the United States entered the Second World War, "Rosie the Riveter" became the symbol for women workers in the American defense industries. Fewer women would be part of the large American workforce today without the example of the many and diverse Rosies.

Time: 1942 to 1945
Place: Various defense plants and homes of those who work in them.

FDR: (On radio.) Yesterday, December 7, 1941, a date that will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan … I ask Congress to declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan … a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.
As he speaks, the men in each of three groups kiss their families good-bye and, one after another, depart; the women wave farewell. Posters are projected or are carried as placards with such slogans as:

"With Sons at War, America Needs Workers. Be a Fighter-Backer!"
"Do the job HE left behind. Apply U.S. Employment Service."
"I can't win without you."
"Uncle Sam Needs You."

Women begin to chant these words, building louder and louder.
"Do your part."
"Stay on the job."
"Finish the job."
"Join the Invisible Army."
"Give it your personal attention, will you?"
"Uncle Sam needs you."
"V for Victory."
