This lady looks more real than some of the others,some of the pictures are probably posed for PR reasons. The women in some are just a little to neat and clean to be really working in my opinion. Never the less a good series Mich, thanks for posting all the good pics.

The images are of real workers, but many
are posed, being way too well dressed and
clean to have been actually working before
the image was taken. "The photographers are
coming tomorrow, girls, you might want to
look your best".

Maybe they figured it would hurt troop
moral to see the womenfolk at home all grimey
and dirty?

What makes them look posed to me is the lack of eye protection. Anybody working
on equipment that makes and throws off chips would be required to wear eye
protection while doing so.

Au contraire. OSHA had not come about those days and eye protection was
not mandatory. Rosie was, after all a woman first and a war worker
second, and would not have bee caught dead wearing a pair of ugly goggles!
