    It's posed. The shirt is crisp from the laundry (and is too good to be wearing while working on machine tools), while her hands are unnaturally clean. Still, a nice picture.

    husbands at war, wifes working. A period I did not know (born in 1950), but having heard so much of this. Your library is very moving, for all what it shows, and the very historical memories.

    Excelente fotografía de claroscuro.Tanto la mujer como la máquina están muy bien modeladas por la luz.La posición central del motivo sugiere el carácter estático de la escena.

    I *think* this may be my grandma. She worked for Douglas when she was in her early 20s. I have seen pictures of her at about this age that were black and white and they are VERY similar.

    Your looking at the quintessential “Rosie The Riveter”. God bless the American female, they put them in the air during the war.
