"We Can Do It!" is an American World War 2 poster created by J. Howard Miller in 1943 to boost the morale of women working in factories to support the war effort. The original features an archetypical Rosie the Riveter in a red banana and blue shirt flexing her right arm while speaking the titular motto.

The poster has become a symbol of feminist empowerment, self-sufficiency, and resilience. Fanart imitations of the poster generally feature a female character with fandom-relevant text.
