Photographer: Sandra Hughes
Taken: September 13, 2012
Caption: Women welders in 1943.
Additional Description: During World War II, as more and more men left for combat, women took over positions traditionally held by men, including welders, riveters, and machinists. We all felt that we were doing our job, and the harder we worked, the faster we would get the ship out, and the faster (the war) would get over. Gloria Brandenberg Shipyard Painter, World War Ii
