Woman War Worker

This picture depicts a woman war worker, simply put. The picture shows the iconic "Rosie the Riveter"type of woman: hard working, strong and willing to do a job traditionally equated to being a man's. This picture is worth keeping because it shows that women were willing to take the place of men in a time of need, and it also shows that this type of woman does not only exist on a poster as a part of propaganda. This picture also reminds us of the sideline view of World War II, where the women were beginning to take control, while the men were off in the war.
