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.

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.
