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-riviter 

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.
A chilling hint of distance that slowly creeps into a relationship beginning to notice them laugh a little less, look away more often, and explain their mood like it’s no longer your business.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
