    Yes a really talented photographer on a mission. The government really had to sell women in the workplace hard during the war. Photos that showed that women could work hard at mens jobs and still be ladies were important in entice more women to enter the workforce and getting men to accept the necessity.

    I probably wouldn't be making this comment if I weren't saving a bunch of photos to print for a very young female person -- but if that's a modern vs historic title, it needs to be changed. This worker is not a girl. She's a woman. (And yes, I love these photos. This collection is a treasure.)

    These look like fashion shots. The red vest with the pin keeps coming up. Maybe a "Rosey the Riveter" style shoot?
  • Hai Media Group said:
    Inspiring!
  • MsMarian said:
    My mom worked at Douglas. I have pictures of her in her grey zip-up pantsuit (much like what garage mechanics wear). The pictures show on this site have to be ones for promoting as they did not dress like this for work, that is for sure!

    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!
  • Le yeux sans visage said:
    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.
