American women added a touch of glamour to the grim task of arming their country in war.
During World War II, women began to gain more respect and men realized that women actually could work outside of the home. They fought for equal pay and made a huge impact on the United States workforce. They began to take over “male” jobs and gained confidence in themselves.

What absolutely fabulous shots! Not enough credit is given to all the "Rosie the Riveters" who did such a great job during this tough time in our history. Thanks for a great post.
