Come into the Factories

by Philip Zec, 1941

Female empowerment was the focus of this Philip Zec poster encouraging women into war industry for the good of the nation.

A Jewish socialist, Zec’s work has been compared to early Soviet propaganda putting a grand and heroic face on manual labour.

Posters like this aimed to show a direct link between civilian workers at home and the fighting men on front, here symbolized by the line of fighter planes "leaving" the factory.

In the same year that this poster was produced the National Services Act decreed that unmarried women from 20 to 30 had to go into war industry or serve in women’s auxiliary forces.

A dramatic picture framed in a 40 x 30 cm (16 x 12 inch) size frame.
