WWII, Female Machinist, Airplane Factory, 1942

Editorial use only . Woman machinist, Douglas Aircraft Company, Long Beach, California, USA. Although the image of Rosie the Riveter reflected the industrial work of welders and riveters, the majority of working women filled non-factory positions in every sector of the economy. What unified the experiences of these women was that they proved to themselves, and the country, that they could do a man's job and could do it well. Photographed by Alfred T. Palmer, 1942.
