So the Great Depression kick started our Country on the Road to Socialism.

And WWII kick started the Feminist Movement

 

Propaganda was created specifically to target those women who had never before held a job or had even considered joining the work force. Posters and films glamorized the roles of working women, portraying such jobs as extraordinary and women as attractive an confident. These posters reassured women that they could easily maintain their femininity while fulfilling their duties and helping their country. Posters came in all different sizes, ranging from small table-top displays to roadside billboards (12). They were produced under the supervision of the Office of War Information, which coordinated with various organizations to get the message out quickly and effectively. Groups such as the WASPs, WAVES and WAAC used propaganda posters to promote the message of women joining the workforce.

The armed services presented female recruits as very "feminine" and promoted the idea that military work would not make women "masculine" or ruin their moral character. A guidebook for women in the armed services and war industries included a photograph of a young WAVE with the caption describing her as "pretty as her picture… in the trim uniform that enlisted U.S Navy Waves will wear in winter… smartly-styled, comfortable uniforms… with a soft rolled-brim hat"
