Question: What is that photograph of the women!?
There's the famous picture of the steelworkers on their lunchbreak in 1932, but there was also one taken of women in the 40's and I can't find it anywhere!.!. does anyone know who took that photograph or what it's called!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I was thinking of Rosie the riveter also, but if you are talking about real life photos then I suggest you look at some of Dorthea Lange's work she was a photographer that took photos of real life!. Her specialty was the migrate farm workers and the poor lower class,struggling everyday people!.
also you might want to look at websites forVoguee,Harper'ss Bazaar and Life!. these magazines were great for pictures of the post war photo journalism!.
Sorry I could not be of more help!.
Good Luck :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do you mean Rosie the Riveter!? She was a composite character created in the '40s as kind of a mascot for working women!.

I don't know of a specific photograph like what you specified, but there's an iconic illustration of her, which you can easily find on Google images or any other image search!.

Hope this helps!
