The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter

The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter is a 1980 documentary film which tells about the American women who went to work during World War II to do "men's jobs." The film is 65 minutes long and was directed by Connie Field. It has been deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress, thereby allowing it to be preserved in the U.S. National Film Registry.

The film's title refers to "Rosie the Riveter," the cultural icon that represents women who manned the manufacturing plants which produced munitions and material during World War II.
