Here are some key questions I would ask and points I would make in analyzing this source: - Is this a primary or secondary source? This appears to be a primary source as it is an illustration from the time period being studied (1939-1945) - What are the main points? The main point seems to be encouraging women to take on jobs in support of the war effort by joining in "Victory jobs" - What context does it provide? It provides the context of World War 2 and the need for women to fill jobs while men were away fighting - Is there any bias? As a primary source from the time, there could be bias in favor of encouraging women to support the war effort in jobs
