The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Women in the Work Force Photos

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.
