# Jenny on the job - Has her fun after work

Health-education poster in the 'Jenny on the job' series: a smiling cartoon woman war worker in blue coveralls and a red hair bow roller-skates, with small skating couples behind her. The technique is faint; she is shown as an ordinary, happy co-worker who takes recreation after her shift, a plain-folks model of leisure as part of staying fit for war work.
