Danger: Women at Work, 1943

This 1943 U.S. Office of Education film tackles health and safety for WWII women workers. In black-and-white with sound, it contrasts men exiting a factory with women clocking in, then shifts to machine shops where a foreman warns of hazards—hair, jewelry, heels—before showing safe attire (pants, hairnet). Wobbly shots capture women at work, balanced meals, and busy streets, mixed with combat, a pioneer woman firing a gun, and WACs parading, blending urgency with dated stock in a call for vigilance.
