July 19, 2016: Railroad Women of World War II

Here are some very striking historical images at Mashable, documenting that in Iowa, during the war, Rosie did some locomotive maintenance on the side.

It looks like the steam cleaner had the good job. Those wipers worked hard in dirty conditions.

I wonder how many of those women were sad to have to give up their jobs after the war.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not...

:D

How could I be sarcastic, this is IotD.





I actually was not being sarcastic. I bet a lot of those gals really liked what they were doing being oilers, delivery pilots, battle tank testers, truck drivers, etc., etc.

It's true, millions of women who enjoyed their first taste of freedom in the workplace were suddenly out of a job.

That's what I think too, but I didn't want to be all, "fuck you, sexist pig, women appreciate the satisfaction of a job well done too, now go make me dinner if it's so fun and easy, fuckhead" without any justification. :)

Understood. :D
