Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History Tee

This iconic image (often called Rosie the Riveter) is drawn from an American wartime propaganda poster produced by J. Howard Miller in 1943. The quote "Well-behaved women seldom make history" was first spoken by author Laurel Thatcher Ulrich (born July 11, 1938). Ulrich is an American historian of early America and the history of women and an ivy league professor. Her book "Well-Behaved Women" examines the ways in which women shaped history, citing examples from the lives of Christine de Pizan, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and others. Original artwork by Catherine LaPointe Vollmer.
