    This is my history nerd: I'm curious to know how these women who had worked inside the home for generations adapted to being outside-of-the-home workers. I mean, I know that sometimes "you gotta do what you gotta do", but I wonder how these women adapted to long hours on someone else's schedule.


    These women rocked: I could never have had the cajones these women did.

    @StyckyWycket: I have a book for you - "Our Mothers' War" by Emily Yellin. Good stuff on all groups of women during WW II - the Rosie the Riveter types, the older women, the prostitutes pressed into service then marginalized by society, the "Victory Girls" - all there. I'm a bit obsessed with women's lives in the 40s and 50s, and I looove this book.

    ...it's more patriotic to buy large sizes. Oh so that's where we got the idea for the SUV then?

    @zu_zu: No, this actually makes sense, if you buy in larger quantities there is usually less packaging, so it's *less* wasteful. Not at all like a SUV.

    And lo, there was a time of great reckoning,

    and Noxema was created,

    and it did burn a lot,

    and Mom did say:

    "that's how you know it's working!"

    "Then the boys came back from the war front & needed jobs, so they fired my supple ass. Now that I'm home all day, I still do something necessary - drinking, mostly!"

    @Your Screenplay Sucks: My aunt had a kickass job with the Signal Corps as a meteorologist. Then the war ended and she spent the rest of her life as an executive secretary in a defense corporation, bitter and pissed off (and taking it out on the whole family). She never married and spent half her time talking about how great the war years were. Granted, the lady had major issues. But it really sucked for a lot of women who had the amazing jobs they deserved, only to get kicked back to prehistoric hell.

    Isn't it great how so many words are italicized in these ads? It's so manipulative and lovely!

    These ads always make me feel like I've been wasting my time when I could have been doing something important.

    We actually use Pond's cold cream in the theatre group I work with to get stage makeup off. It works.


    This ad is crazily sexist though.

    @o português é muito sexy, in spite of it all: Yes Pond's is the only stuff that removes all makeup, even better than Vaseline.

    @o português é muito sexy, in spite of it all: I love Pond's! It takes off anything. I have to use another cleanser to remove the grease residue though.

    I have nothing snarky for this one: my grandma kicked ass.

    @AtomiClash is a ball-cutting cybersuccubus: My Rosie Riveter grandma did too! I think the Rosie Riveter action figure I got her for Christmas was one of her faves :-)

    @AtomiClash is a ball-cutting cybersuccubus: My grandmother on one side and great grandmother on the other were busy running a general store and a farm. So not exactly war work, but ass kicking nonetheless.
