Ellie the Entrepreneur Goes to Washington
Where once we had Rosie the Riveter, rolling planes off assembly lines to rebuild a wartime economy, America now has Ellie the Entrepreneur.
Rosie wasn’t an advertising campaign to recruit new workers, as Uncle Sam was to the armed forces. She was an acknowledgement of what women were already accomplishing, unasked. Rosie was also a real person, whose figure was a metaphor for millions of other real women who got up every morning and put their hands to the task of building and rebuilding our economy, our confidence, and our culture.
