With all kinds of rationing, good hats were hard to come by, so women got quite creative with both their hair and scarves. I suspect the snood was also used on factory lots to keep women's hair from catching in the machines but I'm not sure on that one. Just looked up snood: it was generally more of a net but worn identically to this scarf.
Love her hair scarf.
