The 1940s saw a lot of change in the world. World War 2 effected everybody. It helped get the US out of the depression and women into the work place. Betty has become a new woman. She wants to work. If something is broken in her home, she can fix it! As a result of the war, she adopted a simpler style. Of course that doesn't mean she can't dress like a Hollywood starlet from time to time. #Woman #1940 #40s #decades #WOTD
