Come Into the Factories

While the U.S. posters recruiting women for war work were great, my favorite WW2 recruiting poster is British. It’s become an iconic image, for good reason. The figure looks triumphant, her arms in a V for victory, as planes seem to stream directly from the factory into the sky above.

The poster’s designer, Philip Zec, was best known as an anti-fascist political cartoonist, but this poster is part of his legacy, too.
