While in school Rosler created some of her unique and meaningful pieces. Rosler has composed art in the form of photo-collage, photo-text, video, photography and performance. She is known for her art containing feminism, warfare, social justice and civil rights. Rosler creates collages that often times brings important social issues to the audience's attention. Her artwork is referred to as a conversation started since she incorporates both war and private life.

In the images below it is justified that she includes women and war to convey her message to the audience.
