re: #211 FemNaziBitch

boob shot or truly one about a career girl?

That was truly not representative of the vast majority of working women in that era, though, most of whom did not have college degrees and were glad to get out of the factories post-WWII, such as my mother. I still have a photo of her striking a pose in the coveralls which were required for her job at Union Carbide making batteries for the war effort. In 1948, she died at the age of 28, from renal failure and cervical cancer, leaving 3 young daughters. I’ve often wondered if her exposure to toxins (for instance, mercury was introduced in dry cell batteries during WWII, not to mention cadmium and arsenic, etc) contributed to her death. But exposure to lead can lead also to chronic kidney disease; and she was noticeably sick for at least a year before she died.
