Woman's place in war! Cartographer, Army Ground Forces
Small Women's Army Corps recruiting sheet: a tilted halftone photograph of two uniformed women bending over maps with compasses and an ink bottle, under the headline 'Woman's place in war!'. The line '239 kinds of jobs for women' is a card-stacking figure, and the Army Ground Forces and Athena emblems lend the service's standing (transfer).
