My mother. Was she fashionable? Check hair style. Rosie the Riveter.

Rediscovered. Painting of my mother from 1966.

Well, yes.  It was done by little me and it has resurfaced.  It is still located in Georgia, where I grew up.  It was painted in 1966 in Searcy AR with my signature.  She was probably in her 20's at the time.  She does look young and pretty here.  What I have noticed this time and probably before about her hair covering.  It looks a lot like this style.  Seems as if ladies could use a hankie or scarf to hold back the hair and tie the wrap above the forehead.

Like this very famous poster.  I believe it is called Rosie the Riveter and dates back to WW 2 when the men were called to war and women became defense workers during the war.  It stood as a symbol for women in the work force and for women's independence.  I vaguely remember my mother having these cloths on her head......and I hope she did!!
