World War II brought about many changes in the United States. Of those changes, women experienced the most significant one. Before the war, women had been looked at as stay at home mothers and housewives. The idea was the husband would go out and work every day. He would bring home the money to financially support his family. Meanwhile, women would do everything else. They would be in charge of stay home each day and cleaning the house. They would cook every meal and do the family’s laundry. They were also in charge of taking care of the children. This would include making their child’s lunch and taking them to school. If the child was not old enough to attend school, then women were expected to stay with them every second of the day at home.
