How They Saw Us: Proudly She Marches

Ann Pearson

1977 18 min

Coming soon

A recruitment film made in 1943. Its words offer women the excitement and challenge of new kinds of work in the armed services. The visual message, however, suggests that this work is merely temporary and possibly even unnatural for women.
