Woman's place in war! Modelmaker, Army Ground Forces
Small Women's Army Corps recruiting sheet: a tilted halftone photograph of a uniformed woman assembling small model vehicles at a bench, 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).
