    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.)

    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.

    Interesting. The clothing is actual work clothes for this shot - except the shoes.

    Is there such a thing as a War Worker Woman fetish? Well there is now, and I've got it...
