Hey this was back in 1943. Women hadn't worked before, they were
replacing jobs men did who had gone to war. I thought the rules were
trying to be sensitive to the differences management might encounter
with women. They seemed to care about not using strong language
around them, giving them time to wash hands, comb hair, they cared
about outfitting them with uniforms that fit etc. I think they were
trying to be as sensitive as they knew how.

Well..Women 1st worked during the WW1..didn't they..Dalin ?...At least in
the UK and Australia they did..I know that the USA only came into the war 1
year before it finished..USA entered in 1917 !....

Did that effect the workforce then in 1917 in the USA ?

Actually, women were teaching and working in offices earlier than that. My
grandmother worked from 1912, when she was 23, until she retired in her late
60's.
