During the 1940's women relied heavily on magazines for all aspects of their life. From the way they dressed to what meals they should prepare for certain occasions, magazines were the go to item. Since magazines played a huge role for women during this time, having a woman pilot featured on the front of a magazine like Vogue was a big deal. This was something to be idolized for women because this was not the typical cover for Vogue that had the model with the hair and makeup done like society expected. The cover broke all these barriers and featured that patriotic woman who was willing to fight for her country. By having Vogue adverrise this "new" idea of a women is what sparked many of the gender role changes that women were going through during this period of time.
