Women in Defense is a 1941 short film produced by the Office of Emergency Management shortly before the United States entered the Second World War.
Synopsis
Opening with a shot of a statue of "the pioneer woman who helped win a continent", the film briefly outlines the way in which women could help prepare the country for the possibility of war. Among the various way women could help were:
- working in a war materials manufacturing plant
- sewing parachutes for US servicemen
- attending free lectures on how to prepare nutritious meals on presumably rationed food
- Joining the WAC or the Red Cross
- donating blood
There is also a segment on the types of costumes women would wear while engaged in war work. At the end of the film, the narrator explains women are vital to securing a healthy American home life and raising children "which has always been the first line of defense".
