Behind the Design of the 2020 Made In America Skillet

For Lodge Cast Iron, the oldest family-owned cast iron cookware manufacturer in America, Rosie the Riveter represents the lasting value women provide in manufacturing jobs. 

Rosie the Riveter has long represented a symbol of American feminism and a celebration of women’s economic advancement in our country’s history. It’s no coincidence that the release of this skillet design, as part of Lodge’s Made in America Series™, accompanies the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment—women’s right to vote. When the skillet was available to purchase, the price of the skillet is $19.20, to celebrate this date in history. 

“Rosie the Riveter is a perfect choice for a number of reasons. She is a symbol of American manufacturing, which we obviously love, it’s the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment this year, and she resonates with people in a real way,” said Robert Kellermann, product manager at Lodge, in charge of the Made in America Series™.
