I'm surprised no one has identified the young woman. The picture was used as the cover of the book, Dress Like a Woman: Working Women and What They Wore (2018). I poked around a bit, and found some first hand accounts by "Winnie the Welders" ("Winnies the Welder"?) who worked at Groton Electric Shipyard, but no one claims the image.
