Mrs. Anderson, a Willow Run Bomber Plant Employee, at Home with Her Husband and Child, February 1943

As a part of the automaker's efforts to promote its war work at the Willow Run bomber plant, a Ford Motor Company photographer followed Isabelle Anderson through one of her workdays at home and at the factory. Mrs. Anderson was one of 42,000 workers -- and 15,000 women -- who built 8,685 B-24 Liberator airplanes at Willow Run during World War II.
