Margaret Bourke-White took her camera everywhere, her stories were worth telling photographically. When she first started taking pictures she had a $20.00 camera with a cracked lens and took a one week photography class in Columbia University. She started as an industrial photographer and had other jobs after that but she is most remembered for her work in "Life" magazine.

Chapter 9- CREATING "ROSIE THE RIVETER"

Propelling the American Woman into the Workforce

Summary-

              Woman power during World War II was essential. Without "Rosie the Riveters" things would of been way different. During this time if a wife or daughter brought home a check this meant that the man was a failure. The news media tried to get rid of this idea by "glamorizing" women. Other news organizations praised women for the hard work they were doing. They stated that women are equal to men and they can do the jobs men do just as well. Many of these hard working women did not get enough sleep because they had to work at home as well. They had to cook, clean, and take care of their kids. Margaret Bourke-White captured important moments during this time with her camera. She was a photojournalist and she was most remembered for her work in Life magazine. Unlike most photojournalist of that time she liked photographing the more rugged looking women working rather than the feminine ones. After World War II it was more excepted for women to work than to just stay home.
