So one of my friends from UGA read my blog and sent me this awesome link to Library of Congress pictures from the 1930s and 40s. As you might remember from high school history, this time period covers WWII and the era when women were encouraged to work outside the home in honor of patriotism.
The image that comes to mind for most people is probably Rosie the Riveter.
However, you can check out this link to see the REAL women who kept our country running. Thanks to our foremothers for trailblazing our right to have careers outside of the home! Also, thanks again to Gene for finding this and sending my way!
