World War II Women Memorial Posters and Art Prints

The initial design of this memorial involved a female Air Raid Warden sheltering children; however, this was simplified until it became the final design.The bronze monument stands 22 feet (6.7 m) high,[4] 16 feet (4.9 m) long and 6 feet (1.8 m) wide. The lettering on the sides replicates the typeface used on war time ration books. There are 17 individual sets of clothing and uniforms around the sides, symbolizing the hundreds of different jobs women undertook in World War II and then gave back for the homecoming men at the end of the war. These outfits include uniforms as worn by the Women's Land Army, Women's Royal Naval Service, a nursing cape, a police overall and a welding mask.
