WWII, Female Driller, B-24 Liberator, 1942

Drilling on a Liberator Bomber, Consolidated Aircraft Corp. Fort Worth, Texas. 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 Howard R. Hollem, 1942
