Women and minorities were treated unfairly during the war. Many of the women had supported the war, because they thought that it would bring improvements to their lives. In little ways it did, but they did not get all of the benefits that they were hoping for. They had the idea that the war would be able to bring jobs with higher salaries. “To some extent it did; about a million women replaced men in uniform, but the numbers actually engaged in war industries were small and the gains were fleeting” (Carnes and Garraty 533). Even though new jobs opened up for them it didn’t last long. Whenever the men came back after war the women would be overruled and fired from their jobs in order to make room for the men.
