The factories were heavily bombed, but PRACTICALLY the CONSTRUCTION WORK had been redone very QUICKLY.

You can SEE the ABSENCE of women in governing BODIES from Congress to state legislators, on corporate boards, in tenured POSITIONS in academia, and as forepeople in factories.

'Feminist comedy,' practically an oxymoron, had a couple of good years after WWII. Chalk it up to the forced female autonomy that occurred during wartime, when Rosie the Riveter went to WORK in the factories, constructing the ALLIES' WAR MACHINES while taking charge of the finances, the home, and the CHILDREN.

Life on a factory FARM is well-nigh unbearable for the animals or birds, and it is OFTEN foul for the women and MEN who process the meat that results - especially in factories for chicken PARTS. But do not sentimentalize. Do not IMAGINE barnyard life is a bowl of cherries.

I enjoy GOING out to the plants, the factories where just some sub-element maybe of the orbiter or the SPACE station is BUILT. Those people take such pride in that component, and they build it to perfection, and it's just a PLEASURE to SEE that.

Windows were the first thing we made ourselves. Other products, such as cement and plasterboard, CAME later. Some of the factories we ACTUALLY built because of union blockades trying to stop US getting supplies.

Traveling around Ethiopia, I saw dozens of abandoned textile factories. People kept ASKING me to help them find work. So I thought I could make USE of my EXPERIENCE in fashion to commercialize their products outside of Ethiopia.
