Should she really be holding the chuck? Or does the drill not have a chuck?

Cajun Metal said:

All of the photos of the women are so staged. Looking pretty rather than actually working. Regulations must've dictated their hair was up and out of the way of the machinery and you wouldn't waste expensive red lipstick just to go to work or be wearing blusher. So patronising and of course unfair, as they were paid half of what the male workers were paid.

The photo ties in American patriotism with the flag at the end of the room, the support of people by including the male figure in action mode.
