The Evolution of the “We Can Do It” Poster and American Feminist Movements

World War II created mass destruction and economic distress but was also responsible for creating new opportunities for women. The war had torn families apart and had altered family dynamics. The high demands of the wartime economy called for a reevaluation of American women’s roles in society. In 1942, Pittsburgh artist J. Howard Miller was hired by the Westinghouse Company’s War Production Coordinating Committee to create a range of propaganda posters to encourage women to join the war effort.1 The most iconic was christened “Rosie the Riveter” and further popularized by Norman Rockwell. These images exemplified how the government wanted women to be perceived in the workplace. Wartime propaganda determined how women acted and dressed. During World War II, the Rosie the Riveter image not only exemplified the nationalism felt amongst U.S. citizens but also came to represent the generation of women who broke down societal boundaries. These women were heavily influenced by the media and became confused about their role in society. Throughout the twentieth century, the meaning behind the Rosie the Riveter image evolved as women continued to strive for freedom from societal norms. In the 1970s, women from the second-wave feminist movement rediscovered Rosie the Riveter and transformed the WWII era propaganda poster and her slogan We Can Do It into a symbol of women’s empowerment that has been carried across the generations and onto the banners of the contemporary feminists marching in the 2017 Women\u27s Marches

Signals from Flavor Changing Interactions in Extended Models

In the contest of a Two Higgs Doublet Model without flavor conservation, the presence of Flavor Changing Neutral Scalar Currents may affect in particular the couplings of the top quark. Some ideas on how to look for new signals from Flavor Changing Interactions at the next generation of lepton colliders are presented.Comment: 2 pages, latex file, gzip-compressed and uuencoded; invited talk at the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics, Brussels, July 1995; to be published in the proceeding

Flavor Changing Neutral Currents and the third family

We investigate the possibility of having sizable effects from flavor changing neutral currents at the tree level in a particular class of Two Higgs Doublet Models. Constraints from existing experimental information are discussed. Some interesting signals at the future generation of lepton colliders are illustrated.Comment: 6 pages, 1 Postscript figures, uses epsf.sty, to appear in the Proceedings of the XXXIst Rencontres de Moriond Les Arcs, France, March 199

Youth Perspectives on Permanency

"What do foster youth think about permanency?" CPYP, in partnership with the California Youth Connection (CYC), held interviews and focus groups with several foster youth to talk about this question. This document explores some of their answers

Negotiators' cognition: An experimental study on bilateral, integrative negotiation

Many negotiations offer a potential for integrative agreements in which the parties can maximize joint gains (through logrolling) without competing for resources as in a 0-sum game; nevertheless negotiators often fail to exploit this potential and settle for suboptimal, distributive agreements. In this study a situation of two-issues bilateral negotiation has been considered. Our aim is to get some insight on the causes that prevent negotiators from reaching integrative, Pareto-optimal agreements. We ran two experiments (one with policy makers and one with students) in which we tested the "fixed pie bias" of negotiators, and we introduced a new explanation for suboptimality, based on the hypothesis of a satisficing (not optimizing) behavior of negotiators, which leads them to a "zone of agreement bias"(ZAB). --integrative negotiation,logrolling,cognitive bias,satisficing
