What it is
A poster for women's war work by George Roepp, dated 1943, held by the National Archives as 44-PA-167 in its World War II Posters series.
Why it matters
The government leaned on commercial advertising to bring women into the factories, and images of women war workers were everywhere in its posters by 1943.
What to notice
The headline is a testimonial in the first person, the form of commercial advertising the government borrowed to fill the factories.
A help-wanted ad, answered in the first person.
