Women at war (Mrs. Smuda). "The sweetest lady I ever met.. Dear Mother, I won't forget." So reads this pillow, sent Mrs. Smuda by her youngest son now at camp. But unlike Whistler's immortalized parent, the mother of the Smuda family spends little time in an armchair. She's much too busy working for Uncle Sam at the Frankford Arsenal and taking active care of her home and family after hours

Women at war (Mrs. Smuda). "Dear Mom...." A letter from her youngest son, far away at camp, highlights the day for war worker Eva Smuda. Like son, like mother, they're both giving every bit of energy to help Uncle Sam defeat the Axis

Women at war (Mrs. Smuda). She's a mother and a grandmother, she works at a U.S. arsenal tapering shells for fifty-millimeter anti-aircraft guns and she loves listening to news broadcasts and Bing Crosby. Eva Smuda, fifty-five, who came to America from Poland at the age of three, has one son in the Army, and a son, daughter and a son-in-law working with her at the Frankford Arsenal

Women at war (Mrs. Smuda). Mr. Smuda, 1942-style American mother, is up and out every morning before 6:45 a.m., ready to check in at the Frankford, Pennsylvania Arsenal. From 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Mrs. Smuda tapers cartridge cases for 50-caliber machine gun shells. Before and after work she fills the role of mother, grandmother, and manager of this eight-room house in which she has lived for twenty-four years

Women at war (Mrs. Smuda). There's no household task too arduous for this 1942-style American mother who spends eight hours a day working at the Frankford Arsenal to smash the Axis. When those banisters need cleaning and polishing, they get cleaned and polished by the lady of the house
