This magazine cover marks a huge accomplishment for women during their participation of World War II. Shirley Slade was a pilot in training for the WASPS and served as a poster girl for their regiment during this time. Many females saw this cover and inspired them to actively seek a way to enlist into the group in order to become like Shirley. LIFE magazine during this time was extremely important because so many people read the magazine. This showed that women were just as capable as men to be flying in planes like the B-17 that were carrying ammunition to help with the war efforts. It also shined a light on the active role that women were playing during this time and informed those reading that every person can play a drastic role during the war.
