During World War II, a large number of men in the United States went to the front line to fight, so various factories, including military enterprises, recruited many women, which also opened a door for American women to enter the workplace. At that time, many pictorial newspapers that promoted women's participation in production and manufacturing showed the image of a young, beautiful, hard-working American beauty.
The picture shows female workers working on piston engines for combat aircraft. Many of the high-end military manufacturing tasks at that time were completed by women, and enterprises began to fully understand some of the advantages of women, such as being more careful and hard-working.
The image of American women workers full of power has become a beautiful landscape and symbolizes the further liberation of American women.
Female workers process aircraft fuselage components. With the spread of advanced manufacturing tools, such as riveting equipment driven by external energy, women with relatively weak physical strength can also take over some positions that were originally monopolized by men.
Women workers build new types of armament for the U.S. Navy.

Welding work is a heavy physical work, and it still requires a strong physique. These women workers have shown that women can do this kind of work.
Black women also had access to a large number of jobs, which was one of the major shifts brought about by the large number of women entering the manufacturing industry.
As World War II progressed, more and more women became involved in U.S. arms manufacturing. After the war, although the number of female employees decreased significantly, the acceptance of women in the workplace has been formed, laying a good foundation for the employment of women after the war.
