Norma Denton Using the Time Clock at Willow Run Bomber Plant, 1943
Add to SetSummary
During World War II, women played a crucial role in supporting the Allied forces. As the men enlisted to fight overseas, workers were in short supply. With orders from the war office, Ford hired women to work at Willow Run as machinists, riveters, trainers or inspectors. Women punched their time cards and received the same wage rates as male workers.
