VIDEO. Where does Rosie, the feminist symbol of the anti-pension reform protests come from?

You may have seen these women in the processions of demonstrations in Paris, Toulouse or Le Bry. In work overalls, scarves with red polka dots and household gloves, feminists demonstrate against pension reform by diverting a tube from the 1980s, but above all by taking on an emblematic figure: Rosie the riveter. A symbolic representation of the workers who operated arms factories in the United States during the Second World War.

Rosie, born on a poster in the 1940s, forgotten for several decades and who came back to the light by the grace of pop culture. A woman of paper who inspires women today in their fights as explained to us by Catherine Mallaval, author of "The True Story of Rosie the Riveter".
