Its such a shame that these intelligent women did all this work during the war, but after the men came back it was as if they were second class citizens again. I wish there were more documentaries about this role women played in the war and in fact memorials as well recogizing their efforts.

It might have had something to do with the fact that the men had been through absolute hell and at the very least deserved decent jobs.

Such clarity.

thank for sharing

..fascinating

Fantastic photo - I really like the pin on her vest!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Face Time, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group. this would make a wonderful contribution to facetime.

Wow! The old black & white photos that we mostly see of this era don't convey the beauty of people in that time. She's a beauty. I wish women today took care to dress up like this before they go into work.

Thanks for putting up these photos, they are beautiful. I love this photographer's work.

Unusual wooden pin with red lips, might be african or carribean? It just reflects the red on her lips as well and against the red vest looks great.

I realize that these photos were taken pre-OSHA, but shouldn't these women be wearing boots in this industrial setting?

It looks like this lady was more into fashion than actually worried about safety or dropping some heavy piece of metal on her feet. She is seen earlier in a closeup as well. Makes me wonder if she was an aspiring model or an actual model?

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Sitting portraits, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

She's gotta be a model - no one working long hours can look like this!

Women took better care of themselves back then than they do today.
