Propaganda Poster - We Can Do It!

This was a propaganda poster during World War II. The poster shows a woman flexing her muscles with a caption "We Can Do It!" just simply wanted to inspired women to work for the war effort. This poster is regarded as a women’s power. It also can be seen as a transformation of gender that happened during the 1940s. It was strictly internal to Westinghouse during the war, it only exhibited during February 1943. In other viewers' opinion, the poster was not for recruitment but to exhort already-hired women to work harder.  

It seems like government encouraging woman to stay behind of the importance of their war efforts through propaganda poster. But then the woman (victims) has no any benefit, the government isn't even in the battle. All they need to do is to convince woman to work harder in factories across the country, women were a important part of the America during that time. Propaganda poster somehow known as a lie, a lie that government used to tell their citizen through the posters.

Does propaganda poster really workable during that time?
According to BBC, millions of women worked in factories, on buses and trains, and served as nurses in hospitals and schools. Around 80,000 women joined the Women's Land Army to work on farms.

No matter what, the fact that propaganda poster have been influencing people very well.
