Salvador Dali Aboard The S.S. Normandie In New York City
Salvador Dali was a surrealist artist who seemed to exist outside of time and space. Despite this, in the 20th century, his surrealist paintings and experiments drew a lot of attention! Early trips to New York City, among other things, had an influence on him. He and his wife boarded the Champlain from Franc and were forced to stay on one of the lower decks near the machine rooms when they first visited New York. He only said that, according to Patroness Caresse Crosby, “I am next to the engine so that I’ll get there quicker.”

Men were compelled to enlist in the fight against Germany and Japan during WWII. Women chose to work in utilities, transportation, and manufacturing to fill the void they left in the labor market! During WWII, nearly 2 million women worked in factories and on assembly lines to help the war effort by producing armaments and machine parts. At the time, the percentage of working women had risen from 27% to 37%! These women made just as much of a contribution to the war effort as the men.
