Too many Daily Mail articles on here.

too many women on this pics, not look like real workers

Nice find !

amazing colored photos :thumbsup

Those are some great photos.

because they are models not workers. :thumbsup

the photos are akin to propaganda.

At that time the men went to war and the women stayed and worked.

The one pic inside the airplane fuselage is a representation of " Rosie the Riveter "

My Mother is from that time and worked as a Switchboard Operator.

those pics of working women - look like some german propaganda photos..

My faveorite memorial statue in London is one to the women that worked in factories and such and kept the home front running in WW2. It is made up of the different work uniforms they wore.

One of the biggest social changes in America was women entering the workforce, specifically defense suppliers during World War 2. The photos look staged and probably were but they did represent real life at the time.

Women pilots delivered a large percentage of the planes.
.

Is this supposed to represent the period where the US Gov't collected all Japanese people in the US and shipped them to "holding facilities"?

propoganda or not it's just always amazing to see color images from that far back

Cool pics. Thanks.

yes, internment camps...we had them in Canada as well ...

Photos weren?t staged, back then with most of the men at war overseas woman doing mans job at our defense factories was making news frequently. And a hell of job they did.

There were also no uniforms or dress codes so they may have tried to look their best at the jobs considering all the media it was attracting. Do you know what famous Hollywood legend was discovered at one of those factories?

wow those are awesome photos! Seems like a boring time back then though

Roseland Russell :)

Marilyn Monroe..... She was working in a munitions factory when a picture of her was taken for Yanks magazine.
