 Women in Men's Jobs - 1942During WWII women did essential jobs like this machinist is doing to keep factories running. When the war was over, the women went home and the men got the jobs (with a higher pay.) This machinist sports an ERA button. The Equal Rights Amendment was introduced in 1923 and has yet to be ratified to make it an amendment. I hope it is ratified in my lifetime.

 Switchboard"Switchboard" was inspired by a 1960 photo. At that time, switchboard operators who manually connected the calls by electric wires completed phone calls.
