Rosie was an American icon, I thought, where did you get the idea she was British, JTT? She was the American wife sent to the factories to replace the men sent to the war, who were patted on the ass and told to go back to their kitchens when the men came home, since of course they (the women) couldn't do men's work, even though they (the women) had been doing it, duh, for years.
I thought the British always assumed that women could be people.
