Geraldine Doyle: News Report of Her Death - December 26, 2010

Rosie the Riveter (?), Geraldine Doyle, has died. She was 86 years old.
Geraldine Hoff Doyle (July 31, 1924 - December 26, 2010) was an American woman who had been widely and mistakenly promoted in the media as the possible real-life model for the World War II era "We Can Do It!" poster, later thought to be an embodiment of the iconic World War II character Rosie the Riveter. However, it was later shown that the 1942 news wire service photograph likely depicts another young war worker, Naomi Parker.
