J. Howard Miller
It's a Tradition with Us, Mister! 1943
Poster illustration for Westinghouse for the War Production Co-Ordinating Committee
J. Howard Miller's series of motivational posters for the Westinghouse Corporation included this image, which appeared for two weeks in April 1943. Through the visual analogy of a revolutionary-era musket and a 1940s rivet gun, it highlights the supporting role of women on the home front throughout the history of American conflicts. Although the model's features and attire are similar in appearance to those in Miller's "We Can Do It!" poster, this image has not been similarly viewed through the lens of feminist empowerment. |
