For a long time, women weren’t encouraged to work in certain professions because, above all else, they were required to be keeping a home and raise their children. However, there were some professions that women were not only encouraged to work in but were very much “needed” for.

Female air hostesses were integral to the air force industry to make the service look desirable and exclusive. However, no industry was okay with women looking natural at that time.
