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 change in women's participation in the labor force, with the percentage of female industrial workers rising from 27% to 37% by 1945. The iconic figure of Rosie the Riveter symbolizes this movement, representing the millions of women who contributed to the nation's manufacturing processes during a critical time in history.

The resolution highlights the importance of acknowledging the sacrifices and efforts of these women, who played a vital role in America's victory in the war. It also notes that in 2017, Congress designated March 21 as National Rosie the Riveter Day, aligning it with Women's History Month. By adopting this resolution, the Oklahoma House of Representatives aims to honor the legacy of these women and their impact on the workforce, ensuring that their contributions are remembered and celebrated.
