Quote:
"Films such as Wings on Her Shoulders (1943) and Proudly She Marches (1943) portrayed the participation of women in the armed forces in positive terms but also depicted the situation in not-so-subtle ways that identified women's roles as abnormal, secondary, and temporary. No one voiced this limitation more succinctly than Lorne Greene, in one of his voice-over narrations, when he stated that the 'girls' employed in industrial establishments were finding factory work 'no more difficult than house work.'"
