If this picture was shown to anyone a few years before this picture was taking it would have been completely unacceptable. Women doing work, much less working on cars was appalling. The Great Depression was so brutal that the everyone needed work. Everyone needed work because everyone needed money. And everyone needed money because everyone wanted survive and provide. Women were now taking charge in society. Women understood that there was a demand for jobs to be done and that they had a demand for food. Women knew that they were smart and that the could learn and pick up on something, just the men could. So tthat'swhat they did; they picked up on the "mans" job and did the "mans" job.
