Rosie the Riveter is clearly still a cultural icon. Just ask the more than 1,000 women who dressed up like the American symbol in an attempt to break a world record.
On Aug. 15, the women met in Richmond, Calif., wearing dark blue coveralls (or collared shirts and pants) and red bandannas with white polka dots, iconic details of Rosie the Riveter who represented the working women of World War II . The look-alikes gathered to try to break the world record for the largest gathering of people dressed like Rosie.
