Ever since the WW1 started the united states wanted nothing to do with it and until they were ticked off by the germans. So many things changed including how women got more rights and how the foreign policy changed. From time to time every thing kind of changes just like from WW1 to now. The american society hadn't really ever involved itself in WW1 until the sinking of the lusitania by a German U boat and the zimmerman note.…
World War I had an impact on Australians and glorified the efforts of the ANZAC soldiers. However, World War I benefited other demographics such as Australian women, and allowed opportunities for them to contribute greatly to the war effort. The First World War had an impact of women socially, politically and economically. Organisations gave women the opportunity to use their skills from their traditional roles to assist with the war effort from the homefront. Many women volunteered in organisations, such as the Australian Red Cross, to make clothing and food for the servicemen overseas.…

World War II propaganda had to be very convincing to get people on board and ready to do the work our nation needed. At first, not everyone was working with the force to make things work at home while the men were gone. The best way to get people on board was using media messages that were convincing. The use of eye-catching designs, emphasis on working together, and letting people know their help was needed made these media messages useful.…
1. Did World War II create lasting changes in the lives of women? Why or why not? The under-representation of women had always been prevalent with the media shaping cultural norms by depicting women as domesticated, well behaved, and male serving.…
The world wars brought about a change for women’s rights. Prior to the wars, though, most leading world countries gave women the right to vote. During World War I however, women stepped in to fill the new role as the work force. After the war, the majority of women went home to be housewives. Not long after World War II began and once again women were needed in the work force.…
Throughout WW1, large numbers of women were recruited into jobs which were vacated by men. Women played a pivotal role in society whilst the men were at war. They had many well know roles such as nurses, factory workers, sewing bandages and sending them off to aid the wounded soldiers and selling war bonds. These roles; amongst many others will be discussed further throughout this essay. The acknowledgment of the men during WW1 was far greater than the recognition the women received; and as a result, many refer to the women during the war as the ‘forgotten women of the great war’.…
In The Woman Warrior, Kingston provides a detailed description of a talk-story, told to her by her mother, about a woman warrior in order to illustrate that ideas transform behavior, and ideas provide humans with the ability to defy stereotypes and self-actualize. Kingston recalls the talk-stories her mother told her as a young child. Kingston’s adult mind fathoms the great power which her mother held with these stories. Specifically, Kingston recalls the story of Fa Mu Lan, a woman warrior who trained for over seven years so that she could fight in place of her father and lead an army to victory. Kingston remembers inspirational ideas such as this one which her mother, Brave Orchid, placed into her mind at an early age.…
In a series of posters, the British government utilized a variety of persuasive techniques to convince people to join the war effort. The World War II propaganda used bright colors, a clear concise message, and eye-catching images to get their message understood. The first propaganda poster is constructed to associate factory workmanship with the danger of the front lines with a strong central image. The second propaganda poster features a female factory worker and is designed to convince women to work in factories. The third propaganda poster communicates a message of support towards the military with pathos rhetoric.…
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.…
The United States of America was altered more than any other nation by World War II. The effects of World War II impacted a wide array of citizens. Even with all of those afflicted, women saw the biggest transformation occur in their lives and roles within the United States of America. Before World War II women were forced to do what were seen as “appropriate” or “feminine” jobs. After World War II started women 's position in American society began to change.…
The author of this short article is outlining the contemporary views of society and creating a binary between social norms now and social norms in the 1950 's. These social norms that the author is talking about are very obvious in today 's society, whether you are walking down the toy aisle at a toy store or skimming through a catalog filled with toys and other things. If you look closely enough, you will notice that there is usually an abrupt shift from pink and creative, aimed at females, and blue and "tough", which is aimed at males. This change is very obvious in many stores, if not all of them. I agree with the author 's views that the gap between what is expected of girls and what is expected of boys remains vast, there is still a negative connotation if a boy is playing with barbie dolls and princess toys, and when there is a girl playing with monster trucks and swords. There should not be such an abrupt change, because when there is an abrupt change, kids see this as a sign that they have walked into somewhere they should not be.…
In previous wars Women had trivial roles with the expectation they would stay at home to fulfil domestic activities. However, World War II changed women’s roles within in society majorly, despite society’s initial reluctance to accept them into the workplace. Women were very passionate towards these improvements and the opportunities to participate on the front line of war. To conclude; World War II had a major role in shaping the lives and roles of women in society of…
Women’s role did not change very much from the First World War to the second, but their contribution received much more appreciation during World War 2 (Monger, 2014). The caption in my chosen poster, “They Serve – That Men Can Fly”, is a piece of propaganda that is aimed at recruiting women for the Royal Canadian Air Force in World War 2. This type of propaganda gave women a sense of confidence that they can do jobs that make them heroine-like. Eventually the…
Women Stereotypes Women have been stereotyped as the homemaker for years. The typical nurturing, maternal ability they have encourages men to view woman as a caretaker. Cleaning, cooking, and raising the children are all thought of as “womanly jobs”. Men, as well as other women, constantly apply this stereotype to those around them. There are certain expectations that women are required to meet when it comes to this typical womanly role which pressures them to feel as if they must meet these qualifications, even if the woman does not want to.…
