Resolution No. 1009 recognizes March 21, 2025, as Rosie the Riveter Day, honoring the significant contributions of women during World War II. As men were drafted into military service, women stepped into the workforce, taking on roles in factories and industries that were previously male-dominated. This shift not only supported the war effort but also marked a pivotal moment in history, as over 19 million women entered the workforce, changing societal norms and perceptions about women's roles in the economy.

The resolution highlights the cultural impact of the Rosie the Riveter campaign, which served as a powerful symbol of female empowerment and patriotism during the war. It acknowledges the vital role women played in maintaining the nation's manufacturing capabilities and celebrates their contributions as part of the Greatest Generation. By adopting this resolution, the Oklahoma House of Representatives aims to honor and remember the legacy of these women and their enduring influence on the workforce.
