"Do the job HE left behind" — 1944 WWII Women's Workforce Poster by Robert G. Harris
A determined young woman in blue coveralls and a bright red bandana leans into her work, drilling holes into a heavy metal beam. The bold headline above her reads like both challenge and invitation: Do the job HE left behind.
In 1944, with millions of men overseas, the U.S. Employment Service and War Manpower Commission turned to American women to keep the nation’s factories running. Artist Robert G. Harris captured the spirit of the moment in this classic Rosie the Riveter–style image, one of the most direct and memorable calls for women to step into skilled industrial roles during World War II.
Here she is in action—gloved hands steady on the heavy drill, eyes focused, sleeves rolled up—embodying the competence, grit, and quiet pride that powered the home front.
