American women have played important role in the Second World War due to their persistent and diligent work in the army, which were awarded with several honours by the US army. In total, more than 350.000 women served in the U.S. military during the Second World War and 16 were killed in action (Striking women…
Throughout history, the male has been the most dominant figure living on planet Earth. Difficult tasks and jobs have been given to men, and women were given simpler, less demanding jobs. Women often were thought of as weak and fragile so they could not do the tasks of men; who were pictured as muscular and intelligent. Women were not given equal rights to men but in World War I and World War II, the government and society ran into a problem, and women were able to prove themselves as strong, unique, and skilled. As soldiers went to fight for their nations in World War I and II, women were left with the responsibility of replacing men in factories and on farms, which resulted in them becoming huge contributors and obtaining more independence.…
Because women in Worl War II served in all branches of the armed forces, they were able to explore jobs they never even thought of having. Also women who were nurses on the frontlines and pilots faced just as much danger as men and survived. Lastly, Rosie Riveter and Ronnie Bren Gun Girl inspired a social movement for women, not seen in Wolrd War I. World War II was a historically significant time for women in Canada, leading the belief that it had more of an…

US Women World War II changed the lives of women in the United States because women had to do heavy duty jobs just to feed and support their children, while their husbands were at war. Many men didn’t think that women weren’t important during the war because men were the always the ones that did the work. The truth is that women were a very important part of the war. Since the men were busy serving at the war, the woman had to fill in for their husbands or even friends. These jobs include operating hydraulic presses, help make ships for the war, produce aircrafts, ammunition, weapons and other things for the war.…
World War II changed both the types of work women would do and how challenging the work was. World War II provided various opportunities for women to apply for jobs that would have never been open to women before. Some major contributions that women gave America during World War Two is support, factory working, auxiliary forces and nursing. In this brutal war many soldiers would often lose faith and hope rather quickly.…
Today women are lawyers, doctors, surgeons, judges, and in the army. During World War II when men were in combat, they needed women to work in factories. Women had the chance to work, make money for themselves and control their money which usually men control the money. After World War II the work field changed forever, women are now working and today women are pursuing their dream careers. Due to World War II, the lives of women changed in three ways: being able to work in the army and be pilots, women standing up for themselves the get the same privileges as men, and women working from the homefront, feeling confident, and like they have a voice.…
American women played numerous important roles during World War II. Women not only supported family members who fought throughout the war but also joined the Armed Services themselves, in addition to working in factories and other home front jobs. The era of war began in 1939 and did not cease until 1945, giving women of that period plenty of time to gain independence, identity, and ultimately impact future generations as well as the economy. Women during World War II took on roles during the war that no woman had dared to take on before; consequently, the influence women of this era had on America ultimately impacted future generations as well as the economy.…
A sudden shift in the workforce occurred during and after World War two. As the war gets worse, Americans and the government gets pressured to enter the war even after implementing isolationism but when the Japanese attack the Pearl Harbor everything changes from America 's perspective. It resulted to a dramatic change in the workforce especially when women took almost all responsibilities needed to be done in the society such as taking the jobs of their husband who just left for war. World War two affected many lives around the world but for most American women it benefited them and was sort of a favor because they got a chance to display their skills to society of what they are really made of and to what they can achieve being independent…
After the Pearl Harbor bombing, millions of women did their “patriotic service” and joined the workforce. Some women went overseas while others worked in the homefront providing for the war (“Get a War”).The amount of women working increased by 50%, leading to almost 6 million women working, while 300,000 women served in the military (“Rosie the Riveter”). Women served in many groups including, the Women’s Army Corps, the Navy Women’s Reserve, the Marine Corps Women’s Reserve, the Coast Guard Women’s Reserve, the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots, the Army Nurse Corps, and the Navy Nurse Corps (“History at a”). Women had a large influence on the outcome of World War II, but many individuals have not been remembered, as their acts of bravery,…
On July 28th, 1914 was when the First World War happened, which occurred in central Europe. WW1 and WW2 had a huge impact on women’s life and from the start made significant changes to women’s life. Women played a huge role in changing their contribution to Canadian society. Prior to the WW1 women had very few rights and were overruled by the men of the country. Although, as the years go by things began to change slowly but surely for women, changing for the better.…
World War II:”The Home Front” Have you ever wondered what went on in World War II? The home front was basically everything that went on as the men were in battle. One big part was Rosie the Riveter because she was an iconic image for the role of work women did. Another big part of the home front war ration books.…
World War II took place from 1939-1945. It was a war in which women had to take on responsibilities that had previously been unavailable to them to compensate for the roles of men whilst they were away at war.

For example, women have appeared as pilots, workers, and even in the arm forces. The U.S. wanted to show the women’s powers. At least, women have more roles to play in WWII. This was the right that they wish to do for the sake of earning money and being treated equally.…
Women of Canada and Britain played a very important part in World War 1 and 2. They had to take over many jobs that men had to leave in order to go fight in the war. Women were very eager to join the army and serve their country but propaganda from the government made the difference in how many women joined. Women back home wanted a heroine role during World War 2 and working for the army was an excellent way to meet that goal. The poster I chose has the caption “they serve – that men can fly.”…
