Salvador Dali Sails For New York City Aboard The S.S. Normandie
Salvador Dali was an exceptionally eccentric character who transcended any of society’s rules or expectations. Every one of his art projects, from paintings, to sculptures, and performances, would simultaneously shock and entrance viewers. Dali enjoyed a host of worldly inspirations but few left their mark on him like New York City. The pictured journey shows a rather tired-looking Dali who was accompanied by his wife aboard the Camplain which they hopped onto in France. They could only afford one of the worst rooms that was snugly positioned by the machine rooms.

There was then a void in employment that women had to fill, specifically within the industry, transportation, and other services. Nearly 2 million ladies filled out the desperately needed positions within factories that pumped out planes, tanks, weapons, and trucks. There was then a 10% increase in the total number of women in employment. Without them, the war effort would have been able to progress for America.
