Description: Whether it was by volunteering on the home front, serving in the military or working on production lines, women were definitely Americas secret weapon during World War II. Before the Second World War, women were viewed mainly as wives and mothers. But during the war, that all changed. See how in Women in World War II, a special collection of 12 National Archives films, including one featuring Eleanor Roosevelt in color!It began with Rosie the Riveter, the iconic image of the young woman in a headscarf and overalls who, along with her real-life contemporaries, stepped onto factory lines across America to produce the machinery of World War II. But it didn t stop there; Army nurses, WAACs...for the first time 'a womans place became the workplace and the social revolution that demanded career opportunities for women was born.From the vaults of the National Archives now come the priceless films that chronicled the war years and the working lives of these patriotic and determined women.Marcia Kolko, Archives Specialist, Motion Picture, Sound, and Video Office, National Archives and Records AdministrationNational Archives FilmsWomen in Defense - 1941Woman Power - 1942Glamour Girls of 1943Women of Steel - 1943Training Women for War Productions 1942 IN COLOR!It s Your War, Too - 1944The Hidden Army - 1944No Exceptions - 1943Night Shift - 1942We re in the Army Now - 1943The Army Nurse - 1945Women in Combat 1993 IN COLOR!Product FeaturesPriceless films from the National ArchivesIncludes Eleanor Roosevelt in a color film, and commentary by Katharine Hepburn!Footage of army nurses working in field hospitals and nurses who were prisoners of warFilms show women working in steel factories, on airplane motors, tanks and moreSee how women were the secret weapon that helped defeat the NazisWatch women workers on a typical night shift at a British gun factory WHAT YOU GET This will ship with the DISC ONLY in a protected envelope.Artwork, case, or any inserts will not be included - YOU WILL ONLY RECEIVE THE DISC.SHIPPING OPTIONSDEFAULT SHIPPING IS FREE AND DOES NOT PROVIDE TRACKING.
