Women workers employed as wipers in the roundhouse having lunch in their rest room, C. & , Clinton, Iowa. Although the image of "Rosie the Riveter" reflected the industrial work of welders and riveters, the majority of working women filled non-factory positions in every sector of the economy. What unified the experiences of these women was that they proved to themselves, and the country, that they could do a man's job and could do it well. Photographed by Jack Delano, 1943.
