A woman war worker in a hairnet cap

Seen from the side, a young woman looks to the right; her hair is gathered into a dark net fastened under a glossy, close-fitting cap with a small peak, and the chrome spokes of machine wheels frame her face. The source announces 1943 fashions for war workers, presented in Chicago with commentary by Adelaide Hawley. Caps and nets kept hair out of the spindles and belts of machines at which, by 1943, several million American women worked.
