I was looking for the article that hinted at it, but was having a hard time finding it. So, I decided to look up the origins of the "We Can Do It!" poster, and found that it predates the photo I linked (1942 rather than post-Feb.1943), so the article was probably mistaken or bogus :(.
Oh well...it would have been interesting if Rosie was modeled after a woman of color (a citation on wikipedia's page suggests a Canadian woman actually).
