With men off to fight a worldwide war across the Atlantic and the Pacific, women were called to take their place on the production line. The War Manpower Commission, a Federal Agency established to increase the manufacture of war materials, had the task of recruiting women into employment vital to the war effort.
Since the men were sent overseas to defend our country, women were the replacement's for the men at the warehouses. this allowed for them to make more money and be recognized for what they could do.
