Depicted is a female munitions worker holding an airplane in her right hand and a mortar shell in her left hand. Behind her is a large blue triangle, the symbol of the YWCA. She is an example of the women who worked in factories and shipyards during the war, many of whom produced munitions and war supplies. These women sometimes took entirely new jobs replacing the male workers who joined the military.
