HIGHLIGHTS: THEMES

Women go to Work

The War changed the demographics of the workplace. The demands of a war economy and the labour shortage that resulted from men serving in the war meant that women were encouraged to ‘do their part' and enter the work force. For the first time in Canadian history, women were employed en masse in jobs typically held by men. The WRM photographs, for example, portray women in a multitude of professions – in cafeterias and as waitresses, as loggers or "lumberjills", shipbuilders, scientists or scientific technical workers, and munitions and armaments workers.
