First published for the September 4 cover of The Saturday Evening Post is Norman Rockwell's, "Liberty Girl (Rosie to the Rescue)."

Rockwell hired a professional model for this illustration, honoring the mythical embodiment of all the new roles that now belonged to the American woman during wartime. As a symbol of the ability of Americans to mobilize and transform themselves during the war effort, Rockwell might have chosen a more idealized or classic portrayal, just as he based Rosie the Riveter on a classic Michelangelo painting, but he chose to paint her as a girl-next-door, accentuating her authenticity.
