Tools of the Trade is the third in my series War & Peace which juxtaposes the perception of the abilities and intelligence of women in the early 1940s with those of women in the early 1950s. 
 
The assemblage contrasts the tools women were encouraged to use during World War II with the tools they were expected to use during the early 1950s.
