Abstract
In this Reflection Essay, Diane Simmons describes the research she conducted for her book, The Courtship of Eva Eldridge, a biographical narrative of a young woman during World War II. Eldridge worked at a cafeteria in the Kaiser Swan Island shipyard beginning in 1944.

After being integrated into the workforce, many women then propaganda urging them back into the domestic sphere.
