From the 2013 Old Picture of the Day website
The blogsite featured a photograph of women working in factories during World War II. World War Ii is much responsible for the introduction of women in the workplace. With the men away fighting, somebody at home needed to make the materials they were to fight with on the front lines.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
