The women who became known as "Rosie the Riveters" for their work in helping to lead the United States to victory during World War II were honored Wednesday with a Congressional Gold Medal. "These are the women who built our bombs," House Speaker Mike Johnson said Wednesday at the medal ceremony, held at the U.S. Capitol. "Rosie the Riveter" was the moniker given to women who went to work during World War II, taking on roles historically dominated by men while men were drafted to fight overseas.
