The Second World War was the beginning of women in the workplace. A large amount of men were fighting overseas and as a result were unable to work in their jobs. This meant that women had to step in and work in factories throughout the duration of the war. The term “first-wave” was coined after the term second-wave feminism began to be used to describe a newer feminist movement, which focused on fighting social and cultural inequalities.
