Description
View of a woman worker operating machinery in the assembly of P-47 Thunderbolt fighter planes at the Murray Corporation of America factory. Label on back: "Her friends call her 'the typical war worker' because she manages two battlefronts: home and warplant. But she finds there are difficulties to turning out P47 Thunderbolts and breaded veal chops the same day. She needs help with her wartime problems, not because she isn't self-reliant, but because some of the problems require community effort as well as individual initiative." Stamped on back: "Photographic Department, authorized print no. 1439-19, date 11-1-43, Murray Corporation, Detroit." Handwritten on back: "[Same text as label]. Women workers."
