Naomi Parker Fraley (August 26, 1921 – January 20, 2018) was an American war worker who is now considered the most likely model for the iconic "We Can Do It!" poster.
During World War II, she worked on aircraft assembly at the Naval Air Station Alameda.
She was photographed operating a machine tool and this widely used photograph was thought to be an inspiration for the poster.
Geraldine Hoff Doyle was initially credited as the subject but research by a professor at Seton Hall University set the record straight. After the war, she worked as a waitress in Palm Springs and married three times.
When she died, aged 96 in 2018, she was survived by her son and six step-children.
