“During WWII, when women were employed in large numbers in war industries, notices devised by women were occasionally seen, testifying to the thoughtfulness with which they used their new-found privilege. A typical notice seen in an aircraft factory (by a reporter for the the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, Sept 16th 1942), read: ‘No swearing. There may be gentlemen about.'”

I love this story. Mr RTS and I were talking tonight about how ridiculous it was that women were, to a large extent, sent back to the kitchen after the war because they were still seen as being “the weaker sex”. I’m bookmarking this post to show him in the morning – he’ll enjoy it as much as I did.

I’ve found something that helped me. Thanks a lot!
