Rockwell was a bigot. His Style was the result of him trying to imitate the incredibly talented Gay Man who preceded him on the Saturday Evening Post covers, J.C. Leyendecker.
Strangely, after stealing his Style, Rockwell was annoyed that J.C. Was Gay.
Thank you - that is quite interesting. Three days doesn't seem all that long - but it must have been an eternity at the time.
I know that during the American Civil War commanders sent green troops into certain situations veteran troops would have refused.
Another sidelight - during the siege of Petersburg in 1864, the enlistments of some Union troops expired and the men left. Their fellow soldiers cheered them as they marched away - they saw the Army kept its commitment, even in the face of the enemy.
Gray Ladies/hospital volunteers provided such valuable services that helped free up the medical staff - letters, company (reading/chat), visitor management.
Kudos to her for doing it on top of a full time job.
At the end of WW2, the most experienced trans Atlantic pilots in Canada were women who flew new aircraft to England. The flights were too dangerous for expensively trained airmen. When Air Canada was hiring after the war, women were told they were not needed.
There is a play "Waiting for the Parade" that seems to be a bunch of women war workers waiting for a victory parade of the troops. Most people don't get it ; they were waiting in wain for recognition of their contribution .
I bet it was Kilroy (who was there) getting into Rosie's pants.

Rockwell modeled his entire Style after J.C. Leyendecker. A Gay man he didn’t “approve” of.

I think it is, at least for Alice Walton. My guess is that her siblings have to get their own museums to be used as tax shelters.
I live nearby, and the Rosie Park is definitely a favorite place.
A friend of mine lives in Atchison Village.
A friend's mom worked on a lot of those exhibits. Her own mom was Nisei so was in the camps.
On Fridays in the Before Times, there were "Meet the Rosies" events. I also talked to a man who had been a tugboat operator in the Bay as a teenager.

A nice review of the work of women historians. It was decent to name your sources.
