American Icon

I believe everyone can relate to this icon. According to the following website, www.makingitmagazine.net/?p=4773, the poster was created by illustrator/designer Maya Zankoul.  It reflects women's economic empowerment during the 1940's.  It represents the movement of women into the industrial workforce.  It has become a cultural icon whenever women's empowerment is discussed.  Advertisers take advantage of it by using it to sell cleaning products.
