Excellent pictures of women who served during World War II. Each picture tells its own unique story. Ida Lupino, Veronica Lake, Lyudmila Pavlichenko, and Leni Riefenstahl are a few of the notables pictured.

You're right, she was on PBS once a week where I lived and that was about it other than some occasional local shows about cooking.

Crisco Commercial from 1965 starring Mrs. Forrest Smith of Coolidge, KS
SGT (Join to see) and Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen That reminds me of two Crisco commercials that I am sure that both of you may remember. I remember them because one of my aunts and two of my cousins are in the commercials.

Glad this collection included several shots of women working in factories. They truly were the unsung heros of WWII.

When I was in college in the 60s I worked at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft during the summers. My first foreman was a women who had started in 1943 (yes they still called her a foreman, not a foreperson or forewoman back then). Learned a lot from her and she had great stories about the plant during the war. She retired with 25 years at P&WA the year I graduated and never saw or heard from her after that.
