Like the recent Not-There campaign, 70 years ago images of working women suddenly disappeared from the media and it took them 30 years to return. But this wasn’t a campaign to raise awareness on gender equality. It was a tactical decision I call Operation:June Cleaver.
In a blink of an eye women went from serving their country to serving hubby a beer.
During WWII dedicated working women were glorified in the media, but with victory they vanished, replaced by dewy eyed brides and happy homemakers.
Most of these women didn’t opt out of working it was more like they were pushed out by Uncle Sam in an all out effort to get the working women back home- it was all out war in the media to get these ladies back into the kitchen and into high heels. It is a time worth remembering

During WWII women might have thought they were finally “there”
When Uncle Sam came calling, American women didn’t just “lean in,” they manned up!
Its hard to believe but, once upon a time,there was a media filled with a plethora of ads glorifying the working woman; women workers were not only highly sought after they were lavished with praise.
Uncle Sam had enlisted the real Mad Men of Madison Avenue to conduct a massive campaign to recruit women into the work force. and overnight a plethora of ads appeared praising the working woman
While men were missing from action,women took center stage proving they could do equal work even if there still was that old boogeyman the gender wage gap.
These ads helped sweep away old prejudices about women and work, stowing them away for the duration only to be taken back out of mothballs at wars end. http://wp.me/p2qifI-2Jo
