The ads
"Longing Won't Bring Him Back Sooner" war job poster
Missing him will not bring him home, but working might: the poster turns a wife's waiting into a war job that brings his return closer.
"Miles of Hell to Tokyo" home front worker poster
The road to Tokyo is still miles of hell for the men crawling along it, so a civilian's part is to take the job where they are needed.
Every American woman wants to help win the war; the question is where she fits, so the guide maps women's war jobs and where to apply.
