Woman Working on Wing of a U.S. Airmail Express Plane

After the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, American men enlisted and faltering wartime factories called on women to help build aircraft and ships, among other jobs. Women workers filled a crucial void and broke gender barriers when the nation's men were off at war. Nicknamed "Rosies" after one of the first women to work in a defense factory, the women were immortalized in a poster of a worker flexing her muscles with the slogan "We Can Do It."
