War production workers at the Heil Company making gasoline trailer tanks for the Army Air Corps, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mrs. Angeline Kwint, age 45, an ex-housewife, checking the tires of trailers. Her husband and son are in the Army. 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. Photographed by Howard R. Hollem, 1943.
