Re: Women in the Workforce
 Wearing safety masks the job of these women at U.S. Steel's Gary, Indiana Works was to clean up around the tops of twelve blast furnaces. Date unknown.

Re: Women in the Workforce
There's more than meets the eye in this photo...
 Women paint Y connectors for the engines of American warplanes This photo was not taken at a war plant, but rather at Maryland League for Crippled Children, under subcontract to a Baltimore engineering company for war work. The young lady forefront in the photo was then 21-year-old Belva Fletcher who was handicapped by progressive paralysis, but still able to do sign up for war work. Next to her is then 25-year-old Henriette Furley, so crippled by arthritis she had to stand to do her job. That's patriotism.

Re: Women in the Workforce
Great photo and information Paul. That type of patriotism was shown by civilians in greater magnitude than what is often remembered or cited.
