It is indeed a nice picture.
It's always good to go back to original sources, though. The original
here was taken by Esther Bubley for the Office of War Information.
It is online in the "Farm Security Administration / Office of War
Information Black and White Negatives" collection of the
Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.

It was taken in June 1943, and given the title (presumably by the
photographer):
"Washington, D.C. Muriel Pare,
a switching clerk at the Western Union telegraph office"

or search the collection for "Muriel Pare".
BTW, if you're unfamiliar with the LOC P&P website, be warned -
you can spend days wandering through the images.

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world,
Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this
world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.
