This is the most important job you ever did: Australian Textile Industry, and that means you

Australian Second World War poster issued by the Department of War Organisation and industry. Aimed at women this poster was designed to encourage them to join the textile industry and emphasizes the importance of their role in industrial production on the home front as part of the overall war effort. The simple modernist design features a striking image of a glamorous female textile worker at the centre. She is facing the viewer with her hands confidently positioned behind her back. The blue fabric of her overalls dissolves into a colour block of fabric at the bottom of the poster. Emblazoned across this are the words 'Australian Textile industry - and that means you'. A silhouette of a soldier wearing a gas mask is visible in the background over her left shoulder. The title text is positioned above the image top left to upper right printed in red ink. It continues within a block of dark blue, beneath the image lower left to centre right, in white and red.
