Description
Women Ordnance Worker Magnet Set
During World War II, the young women of America lined up at factories and arsenals to fill jobs left vacant by the men who went to fight. Each woman involved in the production of military hardware became known as a WOW (Women Ordanance Worker). These Women wore red bandanas with distinctive white markings of the "shell and flame" not only for saftey reasons but from a strong sense of pride, accomplishment, and achivement in their contributions to the war effort. They bagged gunpowder, made weapons, created ammunition, and also operated heavy cranes, mailing machines, and countless other heavy tools that most women had never even heard of before the war.

WOW magnet set
Great item as described. My grandma helped load TNT into bombs in a hidden factory in the farm fields of Illinois. I want to commemorate her bravery for my grandchildren. In the 1940s, there were no pictures allowed due to security. So this may be all we have to pass along to the family. Thank you.
