Rosie the Riveter 

renaissance woman. A lady that can do it all, in and out of the home.

Prior to the world wars, men were the ones in the workforce while women stayed at home. When the men went off to war, there was a political campaign urging women to enter the workforce. The character portraying the "can do it all" spirit is Rosie the Riveter. She's able to balance both the home and work life.

An image that may have been seen is a woman holding an iron as well as a wrench.

She's such a Rosie the Riveter, look at her taking hold of both her home and work.

Rosie the Riveter 

Some steroidal bitch with a hammer.

I wanted to have sex, but she got all Rosie the Riveter on me and I was like "nah."

Rosie the riviter was a typical world war II wife that decided to go to work in industry while their husbands were fighting the war. They decided they liked their own paychecks and many kept working. Some decided to burn their bras and become liberated. This made their husands really mad, which is hilarious in retrospect.

Look at Sharon. She really is a rosie-the-riviter wannabee, isn't she? Let's include her in the next layoff.
