Assuming this is accurate, this is one of those cases where someone just happens to look way more modern than they are. She would fit in without issue in 2023 and even the current military dress uniform for at least one of the branches is sort of a throw back to the 40s era uniforms.

Despite the constant sexism they faced and the inequality, WAACs/WACs were vital to the war effort and don't get enough credit:

The WAAC were first trained in three major specialties. The brightest and nimblest were trained as switchboard operators. Next came the mechanics, who had to have a high degree of mechanical aptitude and problem solving ability. The bakers were usually the lowest scoring recruits. This was later expanded to dozens of specialties like Postal Clerk, Driver, Stenographer, and Clerk-Typist. WAC armorers maintained and repaired small arms and heavy weapons that they were not allowed to use.

They're hair clips.

Same. Maybe like a braid on top of her head or some kind of hair bun?
